Can the Seaflo Switch Panel for Bilge Pumps Be Wired to 2 Pumps
Updated 04/23/2021 | Published 04/20/2021
Question:
It would appear that I can use one switch for two bilge pumps on my boat so when I activate both pumps come on. Is this correct? and is this type of set up recommended or should each pump have its own switch?

I spoke with my contact over at SeaFlo and they recommended against this type of setup, especially on a larger boat (something more than just a fishing boat). Typically each pump would need to have its' own switch like the SeaFlo Switch Panel for Bilge Pumps # SE34FR because of the power draw of two pumps, so this really isn't an ideal situation and you'll want to install a switch to work each pump. This switch is capable of handling 15 amps.
