Does the automatic bilge only work when the main battery switch in the back is on? I also have two bilge switches on the dash, i assume one is for the manual bilge pump and the other is to manually turn on the other, automatic pump? Going to be leaving the boat in the water over the weekend, not sure if I should leave main battery switch on or if its safe to turn off and not risk auto bilge not working.

If battery is connected properly, then auto side of bilge pump should be directly connected and powered 24/7.

To add to Mike’s post and to answer the other question, yes you do have a dash switch for the auto bilge as well as for the manual bilge. This is provided because the two pumps are at different levels in the bilge, the non-automated switch for the auto bilge allows a backup in case the manual bilge pump is not operating, and it allows a quicker pump-out in a situation where you want to get rid of bilge water using two pumps instead of just one [but the bilge water level is not high enough for the auto pump to engage on its own].

Mine was like that and changed it to be wired direct. when u would put master switch over to chrge setting it would kill the auto pump
