For just running around the lake, the stock bilge is adequate, if you start to do tricks and submerge your ski then your hood will allow a certain amount of water into the engine bay. Factors such as hood seals, breather holes, time under water, frequency of subs, will all determine how much water gets in your engne bay. You will want to size your bilge setup correctly to eliminate the water in a timely fashion so you don't suck any water into your carbs.
Your riding style will determine your bilge requirements but I feel this is one area where more is always better. You can always turn them off if you don't need them but it's impossible to turn them on if you don't have them at all.
You also have options with Scuppers but that's a different topic altogether.

first off, What kind of ski are you talking about?
Personally, I would always use a bilge switch even with an auto bilge. Auto bilges work good in boats and maybe even sitdown Jetskis but I would stick with a manual switch in a standup. Keep it simple.

Rulemate Auto bilges work way better in standups.....they are simpler. No switch to break. They work with a floating pingpong ball. Get a rulemate 750 and put it behind your battery.
Manual switches serve no purpose with this kind of bilge.
Rule 500's suck.

theres a stock bilge but its worthless, and no theres no switch it runs when you motor is running, your better of buying a AF bilge, worth the peice of mind!
