Hello, I went to hook my
batteries for the season and was having some odd problems related to my
bilge pump. When the house
batteries would hooked up and the
battery selector was off the
bilge pump had a buzzing sound. When the starter
battery was then hooked up, the buzzing stopped, however, the
bilge pump started running - again the battery selector was off.
I began tracing the wires for the
bilge pump system and laid out the diagram below. After I untethered all the wires and pulled them out of the bilge the problem above seemed to go away.
I have two questions for the group. First, based on the diagram below, is this the correct way to install a bilge pump,
water witch
sensor and
alarm? This is what I inherited.
Second, what could have caused the issues above? Assuming it's something in one of the wires. What is the best way to go about rectifying this?
Thanks in advance.
