Your cart is empty.Shoreline Marine’s 3 Position Bilge Pump Switch is an On/Off/On design. It’s meant for applications where the bilge pump is equipped with an automatic float switch and you want the ability to turn the pump on manually, turn it off completely or to leave it set in the automatic mode operating from a float switch. The pumps automatic float switch can be either a remote or a self-contained style switch. Two separate lights on the panel illuminate to indicate when either the manual or auto setting of the circuit is engaged, there is no light present when the switch is in the off position. An integral circuit breaker is located right on the panel to protect the entire bilge pump circuit from over loading, easy to reset with a touch of a button. * Requires a 1 ¼” x 2 ½” cut out with 1 ½’ depth clearance to flush mount ** For use with Automatic Bilge System with Automatic Pumps or External Float Switches. NOTE : – The circuit breaker is intentionally on the negative side of the switch this is not a defect, circuit protection can reside on either the positive or negative side of a DC circuit. - You have to cut a hole, make 5 wire connections, drill 4 small holes and install 4 small screws. For most do-it-yourselfers this is pretty easy. - We state that a 1 ¼” X 2 ½” cut out is needed with 1 ½” of depth required. The cut out is correct and the Depth needs to be changed to 2 1/4” vs. 1 ½”.

Nice unit worked well. My boat is operated in saltwater and this switch lasted about 3 years

Super happy with the quality and price, especially compared to the expensive Blue Sea Systems or Rule switches.

UpdateWell after 1 year this unit totally failed, seems that it's not water resistant at all, the small led light wires just corroded and shorted out, so basically I wouldn't recommend anyone purchase this, buy an alternative where the back of the unit is sealed.I like to write constructive helpful reviews so i hope this helps any prospective buyer. The unit is nicely made in aluminum, however whoever put the protective film on really didnt think about how the hell you are supposed to get it off, in fact you have to loosen all the switches and led's to have any chance of that.The LED indicators although nice, they do draw current and after some testing I found that if you leave the switch on auto and don't return to your boat for weeks, you will have a flat battery using LEDs with resistors in this type of application isn't a good idea.I fitted a mini toggle switch to turn off the LEDs when i leave the boat for any considerable time.As mentioned by others, soldering the spade connectors, not the brightest of ideas also, I also siliconed the resistors to stop them being shaken by the boat and shorting out the positive and negative lines as they are just to close.Would love to give 5 stars but too many design flaws, having said that, theres not much else out there, even expensive ones are only cheap ones rebranded and rebadged.

Product works perfectly.Hooked it up to the bilge pump per instructions. When you switch to manual, red light comes on and so does pump. When you put it on auto, the green light is on and when the float activates, the green light stays on and the red light comes on as well to let you know the bilge pump is on.Should be very easy to keep track of bilge from now on.

Looks great and same size as OEM in my Whaler. The wiring seemed backwards to me though, the negative side goes from battery terminal to fuse and load side grounds the leds and goes back to the pump. Positive from battery to center post of spdt and each side to pump (man) and float switch (auto). I’m happy with how it turned out so far, we’ll see how durable in a bay boat.

It works. I added a 5 amp external inline fuse for my specific load ( 3 amps). Otherwise the panel has a build-in 10 amp circuit breaker. I am using the panel in my home (wall mounted). I had buy a PVC junction box to install the bilge sw panel and to hide the wiring connections. Otherwise if it is for a boat you could mount it in a hole in a dashboard.Panel is made in Taiwan, good quality build. Recommended.

Wow! I had trouble after installing it understanding why both lights would come on so emailed the customer service and got an immediate and on going replies - they were great to work with. The wiring on it is as others have mentioned, is reversed. Manual and auto mode are actually the reverse of what the direction say as it is wired backward. Having read the reviews that mentioned this I wired it so the manual and auto work!! Very pleased with myself as I am a nube at this and it works yay :) oh, and the reason both lights came on was because I had it in auto mode when I tested the bilge pump by activating it manually on the pump itself. doh...

Exactly as advertised. Some people are commenting that the wiring was difficult but this isn't the manufacturers fault. At the end of the day it takes some wires to run a bilge pump and there is no clearer way for them to make this switch. You should have some electrical knowledge and if you don't, hire someone that does.You will need to cut a hole into whatever you're mounting this against. This isn't terribly difficult as it doesn't have to be a perfect hole, just enough to fit the switches through. The face plate on the front will cover up an imperfect hole.I mounted it by drilling a 3/4 inch hole followed by using a jigsaw to cut out the rectangular shape. Pop the 4 screws in and you're set.There are a few incorrect reviews complaining about the breaker being on the negative side stating that the breaker won't work. That's completely incorrect, a fuse on the negative side of a DC current works just fine. In fact, current electrical theory is that electrons flow from negative to positive. The breaker on a negative side will actually respond faster in theory.In this case the purpose of the breaker isn't to protect the wiring from a short, you should have a fuse elsewhere doing that. It's to protect the bilge pump motor and circuit incase the bilge pump fails (jammed impeller) which would increase the current to a dangerous level.

I purchased this unit in conjunction with a new automatic float bilge pump for my boat. I liked the idea of having the seperate manual and auto switch, with an indicator light for each one. It also has a built in circuit breaker to protect from overload or wiring error. I did notice though that while hooking it up, the poles for connectivity were incorrect. I actually had to hook up the "Manual" power wire from my bilge to the "Auto" side of the switch, and vise versa. Not sure if that is because of the toggle switch connection behind the switch, but anyway, it was a quick changeover to correct the issue. Overall I would definitely recommend. The panel is quality aluminum, with clear markings and a rubber covered switch to protect it from moisture and corrosion.
