Secondary Bilge Pump
I made a 7 shaped bracket to attach to the pump shelf where I mounted the secondary pump switch. If it looks like the Rule 3700 barely fits, you are right it is no illusion. The Jabsco primary switch just clears the shelf. I used #8 wire for the major runs port and starboard to minimize voltage drop. Smaller wires wire run to the pump. These wires terminated on a terminal block incased in that grey J box (ACE hardware) in the back of this picture. The grey box has a small hole in the bottom of it and the terminal block is coated with liquid electrical tape. All connections are made with heat shrink adhesive crimp terminals. I have long loops of wire connecting the pump and the pump switch so the pump can be easily removed. I’m also planning on putting an angel aluminum bar across the front of the pump to make sure the pump stays secure in case of a knock down.
