Amel float switch & bilge pump system

[LadyAnn]

Hello Amel owners! It would be a service to the cruising community (and me) if you could provide information on your float switch and bilge pump system. I mean, photos and specifics.

I was mucking around in the bilge of a 52 and wish I had snapped photos of the diaphragm pump, etc. I know everything fails eventually. But when an Amel float switch fails there is no live wires in the bilge soup to destroy your through hulls, and the switch itself looks like something you could find anywhere for cheap. If you had an occasion to take one of the float switches apart, I'm very curious what the float and stick are made of.

If you have an opinion on how the system works, I'm all ears. Appreciate you!
