I think someone is going to get schooled on amp wiring.

Removed batteries and looked for 2nd bilge wire. There is only one and it is brown with a red stripe and labeled Bilge Auto. It goes to an inline fuse then looks like it goes over to the bilge.

I checked the switch and there was one wire loose so I pushed it in but it didn't help.

Is there definitely two wires on a 2007 Ve? If there is only one wire does it go on the + or -?

If the bilge is bad would that stop the switch light from coming on?

The auto bilge is wired directly to the battery and the manual side of it is wired to the switch. Since its a single pump thats auto via a float and manual via a switch, it has a single ground that probably terminates at the ground BUSS on the starboard transom.

The switch will probably have 3 wires: one is a ground for the switch's back-lite. There will be a B+ and then the switched 12V going out to the bilge.

No, the light in the switch will light if there is B+ and ground on the switch and has nothing to do with what actually gets to the bilge. What is the light in the switch doing, this will at least tell us something.

Like I said, Phil is not to be messed with.

My guess - Phil will reply with something to the effect of "OK - that may work...but following proper wiring guidelines is almost guaranteed to not set your boat on fire."

I'm sure he will burn him down in the nicest possible way.

Phil is not like some engineers that are all book-smarts. He has the practical application to back it up.

Putty knife to get the carpet off and the large gobs of glue, then sand it with 50-80 grit.
