I've done a search here and still can't find the procedure.
I want to attach a float switch to my bilge pump. Attwood pump with only two wires. Pump is activated now by an on/off switch at the helm. I want to retain that feature but still have the float switch activate the pump. Any diagram would be helpful. Thanks

Re: Float switch wiring.

You just need to tee off from the positive wire of the pump through the float switch and trough a fuse to the battery.

This way, either switch turns on the pump.
