Boat questions-bilge pump

[Weeds]

Hi, I'm hoping to tap into the wealth that is the OFC community. I just got my first boat, an old fibreglass 14 footer (Peterborough Boat) and I've got a few questions. At least I'm sure I'll have more than a few questions but I'll start with this one. The boat is equiped with an Attwood v625 bilge pump. Is this thing automatic? I can see it's hooked up to an outlet hose and into the wiring but I don't see an on/off switch anywhere. I've got another question but I've got to pick up the wife. Back in a second. Thanks for any input. Rossco

According to the website, it's not listed as automatic, however an auto switch can be spliced in to make it happen. You say you don't see a switch, maybe on the dash or where the battery is located, maybe just have to follow the wires a bit more.

Yeah, there could be a float switch in the bilge somewhere, or it could be attached right to the pump. Take another look, or even take a picture and you'll get the right answer here.

Allright, thanks guys, found the switch. Half way up the left side. It works too.
