Auto Bilge Wiring

[chopper515]

Boat is a 2001 2100V. This brown wire with red stripe is connected directly to my battery. Is this the auto bilge power wire? My switch is on/off so I assume the 3rd "auto" wire needs to be wired directly to the battery. The reason I ask is I'm installing an additional deep cycle using the blue sea add a battery switch and I need to make sure the auto bilge still works when the switch is off. Once it warms up I'll fill the bilge and test it, but just wondering if anyone know that this is how they were wired from the factory.

I have blue sea add a battery switch and wired my bilge wire directly to the batt. I think it is wired to the house batt and not the cranking. I cannot however confirm that wire goes to the bilge, but likely does.

Brown is typically a bilge pump color, so id say yes, thats the auto. Should be a fuse holder close by that end.

Yes there is a fuse holder. Thanks for the responses. I'll double check it eventually by flooding the bilge.

Just hold up the float with something or flip the pump upside down

That brown wire was the auto bilge + on my 07 22 VE.
