sublimate · **Backup bilge pump: plumbing and wiring -** 04-24-2008, 04:45 PM

So it seems like a second bilge pump is a good idea.
Any tips on the best way to plumb and wire it in?

I was thinking about using a submersible with a float and wiring it straight to the battery so it's always hot. Or maybe use a 2nd battery which is isolated? What have others done?

And then where do you run the hose for the output of the 2nd pump?
