[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 164428, member: 1523"] Pretty simple, 12v to both switches, then tie the wires together after the switches before the bilge pump and ground the other bilge pump wire. If you get a lit switch you need to take it apart because they like to ground the output when the switch is off and that will short out the circuit. If you use an seperate indicator light it'll light when either switch turns on the pump. I got the Attwood 500GPH from Walmart simply because they are open all the time and there are WalMarts everywhere so if it dies and I'm away from home I can get a replacement quickly. I'd go with two smaller ones before one large one as well. Jamie [/QUOTE]
