Code for electrical connections is that they shall be above any water. The leads on the commercial bilge pumps are long. One way is to take the leads out of the bilge in the front, and up the port side into the space under the bunk for a water-tight crimp or soldered and covered with liquid rubber insulation, for the lead that would go to switches in the rear of the cabin and on to the batteries. The other way would be out the back of the bilge, also being careful to keep any splices above any incidental water.
A water-tight crimp can be done with the commercial crimping splices that are filled with silicone grease, available at marine equipment stores. Remember, the splice should last forever! Bob [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
