What to ground to?

what kind of switch are you using?

I am using a toggle switch from Jetskisolutions. Cost less than $20 four or five years ago. I believe you can order the same switch from McMaster, as well.

for a switch use an alligator clip and have my bars grounded so when i want it on i just clip onto a tab i have bolted down. It didn't corrode in freshwater after three months and at least i know its off when i want it to be.

Ditto. or you can get one from SXIPRO if he has any.

The ones I get from McMaster are running strong, going on 2 and 3 years for my skis.

I'll see how long this switch will last. I doubt very far because it wasn't working when I switched it and I had to wiggle it around to get it to work. lol. Then I'll purchase a new one!

Never ground to the coupler cover bolts... I had my two bilges hooked up to one of the two bolts there since it was a convenient point. The engine vibrations work hardened the ring terminal and it broke (10hrs).

I am thinking about making a new "Bilge Module" that would operate the bilges through your OEM switch.

I have an Idea. Anyone ever try a headlight switch from a dirt bike. I have a handlebar mounted switch I took off my KDX laying around in the garage somewhere. I will have to try that this summer. I went through two cheap radioshack switches last year.
