I got my new manifolds and risers put on yesterday, what a job!....I hope I don't own this thing the next time it needs them :shock: ............got it all done and decided to wash down the engine compartment a bit........Figured I would test the bilge pump while I was at it........as it turns out the bilge pump is not working........I figure I will just start fresh with a new pump and float switch.....


Admittedly, I have not yet had a chance to trouble shoot where the problem is yet......however, does anyone here know off hand the pin out/function of these 4 wires?

Niagara.....Thanks a bunch!.........your previous thread set me straight......I did not know how a bilge pump was wired......with your info I got out my test light and determined I had constant 12+, switched 12+ and a ground.......bingo!

The problem was in that wiring plug.......a bit of corrosion........a bit of scraping got it going......


One question........which new all in one pump did you go with?......I wouldn't mind renewing the bilge pump.....the one I have is 8 years old........

I replaced mine when it died with a Johnson automatic bilge pump.

RULE makes a great Auto all in one pump.. i just installed an 1100 gph in my boat.. 3 wires.. hot, hot switch, ground.. it can auto turn on even if the master boat switch is off. can manually come on via dash switch.. It was super easy to install..

your wires..

blacks - ground
brown orange - switch
brown red - constant hot

this is how my boat is.. you may need to test as the B/O and the B/R wires could be flip flopped
