with stainless steel screws.

Mounting

For best performance, switch should be mounted
horizontal. Maximum mounting angle is 20° from
vertical.

DO NOT DRIVE SCREWS THROUGH HULL!!
Operation

Switch will energize the bilge pump when water level
reaches 1-3/4” (44mm) and will turn the bilge pump off
when water level falls to 3/4” (19mm).
SHURflo recommends to install the Bilge switch cage for
optimal performance.

Wire Leads

water wicking corrosion through wires, make all
connections with water proof connectors above all
splashing bilge water.

Wiring tips

• Twist wires together to reduce RFI (radio interfer­ence)

• Always use waterproof splices and connectors.
Make connections above water line, if possible.

• Use recommended fuse stated on bilge pump label.

• Fuse MUST be between battery and panel switch.

Some panel switches may have a fuse in them.
