Can the bilge pump also be operated manually with and auto switch installed?

My bilge pumps can be operated manually and auto, since the pumps are wired to operate with a manual switch as well as with the auto switch.

Installed properly, your bilge pump will operate automatically through the switch and also can be turned on manually through your main switch. Personally I had 3 of these electronic float switches and all went bad in 30 days. I prefer the ball floats.

I installed my pump with a three way switch.....on, off, automatic. That way I can leave it on auto when I leave the boat at the slip or when sailing, but can switch to manual when I want to check that the bilge is thoroughly cleared out.

The constant on/constant off switch will work to switch the pump on and off manually. It will run continuously until the switch is turned off. Connect the wire that activates the float switch directly to the battery so it will come on automatically when water level in the bilge reaches the float.

No. This pump must be operated by a manual switch unless a separate float switch is placed in the electrical circuit.

Yes, It is, but it's not auto switch. You need to switch it by toggle the red color toggle switch at the back of the chassis.

I guess that depends on a lot of variables, but I would recommend removing the pump to replace the switch as the cover must be removed in order to gain access the switch, also the bottom loop on the float will need to be disconnected.

probably will. Pumps are high inductive loads that pull a lot of power to start up. You might also consider a 12 volt bilge pump connected directly to the marine battery. Will require a bit of plumbing, but more energy efficient since you don't have to convert voltage. Also, you could set up the bilge pump with it's own float switch so it comes on automatically.What if you are not home when the power goes out? Who will move the plug for the 120 Volt bilge pump from the wall to the inverter?

this bilge pump just pumps when power is supplied to it, if you want it to work automatic then you also need to use a float switch to control it

The switch I bought is a two position switch. Up for on and down for off. After going back and reading the listing I saw that they have the configuration you are looking for available for your bilge pump. Good luck!

No, the unit does not automatically switch and it does require an external power supply. It comes with a remote control that I use to power on and switch ports.

No it is not automatic .I find these pumps better than any other makes and cheaper.I use these for my live bait tanks.

The switch is not vessel specific - it should work on your Bayliner but you will have to install it and get the wiring right for your particular bilge pump, manual switch (if installed), etc. see my review about installation in a Sea Ray 370 (works perfectly).

No. This pump does not come with an on/off switch - but you can hook one up yourself. It has a positive and negative wire coming from the pump.

yes it should switch on automatically . be sure to check your wiring and make sure your hook up to your reverse wire.

Yes. The rubber covered switch works fine. I have two of these pumps, one since 2007, and never have had a switch problem.

yes i have mine in just manual mode, if you set it to manual mode it will not continue to use auto select. this is a great switch have had mine for over 6 months and never had a problem with it.

I believe it would be fairly simple to wire in a momentary contact (push-button) switch to allow you to manually trigger the pump. This should wire in to the same two terminals that the float switch connects to, and would momentarily bypass the float switch circuit, applying power to the switch motor.

You should install a pressure switch if you want the pump to shut off automatically.
