[QUOTE="jellio5, post: 196223, member: 5172"] Picked up a bilge pump tonight after reading this tread. As soon as the hurricane force winds calm down outside I'll do the install. Have a couple quick questions 1. Is a float switch needed for a 14' boat or should I just put a switch in and use it when needed the boat doesn't leak. 2. Once I get this installed I will have my trolling motor,graph, some LED lights and a bilge all on one big deep cycle battery. I'm thinking about putting a smaller deep cycle in to power the graph,lights,bilge I'm wondering if the extra weight of the battery is worth it. 3. Is there a difference in mounting the threw hull conector on the side or the transom..seems 50/50 so I'm not sure it makes a difference. [/QUOTE]
