The bilge is slanted up toward the front so I will mount the pump in the back and float toward the front so it's higher. I will have to mount it sideways like the old one, mounting it any other way will put the switch at an angle bc of the slant and I'm sure I want it on a flat surface so probably best to mount it like the old one was.
I didn't know Johnson made the Mayfair switch, the one I'm getting must be the same thing with a different logo. The Mayfair says 15 amp switch on the logo, I'm assuming the new one will be the same. Do I need to use a fuse higher than 15 amp or is 10 amp still ok? Does the wire that goes straight from battery to float need the same size fuse as the one that goes from battery to dash switch back to the float and pump wires connected together or do I use a different size fuse for each connection?
The float should be here today so that should be the last of my questions, unless it doesn't work. Thanks for putting up with my questions and the repeated ones. I really appreciate the help!
