[QUOTE="gnappi, post: 464589, member: 22374"] Magnetic or hall effect type switches (I don't know what you have) will not respond to a short because the part of the switch that "closes" is internal to the switch. Filling the boat on an incline to test a float or sensor and then pulling the plug is no worse than taking a wave over the bow or getting stuck in a rainstorm. You always have the manual bypass switch if the sensor/switch fails unless you leave it dockside than I'd rig an external float to the bypass switch to make sure Davey Jones doesn't take your boat. I leave my boat covered on the trailer with the plug out and don't think about the BP. [/QUOTE]
