Solar Bilge Pump set-up

Mr Bumble · 2013-07-19 18:39:49

Would appreciate help/guidance on setting up a bilge pump for a lakeboat. Have all the kit but not sure about the wiring. Does anyone have a simple circuit diagram for the above and the dos and don'ts?

There are a few ways of doing this one, is with a float switch and a three way switch for on/off and auto "float switch" Two, you can also do away with the float and just have an on/off.

This is a basis setup.

and this is one with a solar panel.
