Frequently Asked Questions
These are 3-way switches designed specifically for bilge pumps:
· AUTO: The switch routes power through an external float switch. The pump will turn on automatically only when water levels rise.
· OFF: Power is completely cut off, and the pump will not run.
· MANUAL: Overrides the float switch to force the pump to run immediately. (Note: On many models, the "MANUAL" position is a momentary spring-return switch. It will snap back to "OFF" when you release it to prevent accidentally burning out the pump motor).

Yes. The switch panel itself does not detect water. To utilize the "AUTO" feature, you must have an automatic float switch installed in the bilge area and wired to the panel.
It depends on the specific model you choose. As shown in our catalog, some panels feature built-in glass tube fuse holders, while others are equipped with push-to-reset circuit breakers (e.g., 15A) to protect your pump from overcurrent. If you select a basic switch-only model, it is highly recommended to wire an inline fuse into your system.
Yes, they are designed specifically for harsh marine environments. The rocker or toggle switches typically feature an IP65 or IP66 waterproof rating. The panel faces are splash-proof and constructed from corrosion-resistant materials (like aluminum or marine-grade plastic), making them ideal for boat dashboards and open cockpits.
Most of these bilge pump switch panels are universally compatible with standard 12V and 24V DC marine electrical systems. However, always check the specific amp rating of the switch or built-in circuit breaker to ensure it can handle the current draw of your specific bilge pump.
