Some simple bilge questions please

Im probably over thinking this and worrying myself, I'm not mechanically inclined so will have someone install this for me but I need to tell him the right way and order the parts....

have a 2011 SXR and a 2007 X2 gen 2. Both 100% stock.

I would like to add a bilge to both, especially the X2 as I'm paranoid it will sink (they are known for it). The SXR I will fit 1 pump. The X2 I'm going to put in 2.

I already have-
Hose
1x rule 500 automatic pump
2x blowsion outlets.
Blowsion dual bracket.
I was going to order 2 more of the Rule 500 automatics, one single Blowsion bracket and 1 more outlet.


I would like a master on/off so the pump will run when lanyard is off (when I fall off for example) but so I can turn it off when I'm finished so it doesn't run battery down). I was thinking of mounting this in the engine bay, so I can turn it in when I go out, and turn it off when I'm finished and back on shore. I assume this is he right way to do it?


And is there anything else I need? (I'm not at all mechanically minded but will pay someone to do it but will need instructions).

Finally I assume automatic pumps are ok and have no downsides?

Where do I buy the wiring? Blowsion have all the parts but can't see a wiring kit? The guy who will fit it is pretty handy with wiring and he has basic connectors and parts etc.

Help much appreciated I realise it's probably week one day one stuff for most of you guys but not for me (I just enjoy the riding not wrenching!)
 
What did you end up doing? Similar question especially with using an automatic bilge and switch mounting location.

My thought process is dual bilge on a three-way switch. On #1: Power at automatic pump. On #2: both bilges on.
