Bilge wireing question

[fals3illusion]

ok so i have a question.



is there a way i can wire my bilges to the ebox where whenever i hit the start button they turn on and when i hit the stop button they shut off??



just a thought i had that i think would be cool.

Not to be mean, but that is just dumb.

And it would cost more in wiring than just a waterproof toggle switch and the small amount of wiring needed to wire it the traditional way.

why is it dumb?

Not a good idea.
What if your motor dies and your ski is sinking ??

that is a great point !!!

my hood flew off 3 weeks ago and engine compartment was filled..engine wouldnt start and ski was under water...

thankfully a boater in the area saw me and when he got to where i was, was able to lift the nose out of the water and the bilge (connected directly to the battery) was able to work its magic...

unless you're running 5 or 6 pumps, who cares? I turn mine on at the launch in the morning, let 'em run all day and turn them off when I get home.
