[QUOTE="richg99, post: 455528, member: 4376"] If I added a secondary pump, I'd put it's float switch an inch above the primary pump switch. That way, when/if the primary pump fails, the secondary pump keeps the boat from swamping. A look into the bilge (which I do every time I lower my engine after a tow) would show a whole lot of water that shouldn't be there, but not enough to sink the boat. If the boat was left at its mooring, then the operator ought to check the bilge every time he visits or uses his boat. Your point is well taken... A secondary pump, put at exactly the same level of the primary, would disguise a primary pump failure. rich [/QUOTE]
