I worked all the kinks out before posting this to make sure it would work.. the only thing I have yet to do is put a fish in it.
When I turned the bilge on, I checked the voltage on my fishfinder, and at the time I went from 13.6v to 13.5 volts. I'm running a 500GPH bilge and it goes into a cigarette lighter adapter. One thing I wasn't thinking about was the adapter that attaches to the bilge pump has a little light on it that shows it's receiving power. I doubt that could draw much power, but when trying to conserve power, that little bit probably wouldn't make a difference, but it's something to think about.
