Bilge Pump Wiring

[Cape Coder]

someone gave me a rule mate pump and I'm trying to hook it up. It has a ground wire then one solid brown wire and one brown & white wire. I assume one of the brown ones is power, anyone know what the other one is for? TY

Re: Bilge Pump Wiring

It must be an automatic bilge pump. Brown with white stripe to unswitched 12V for automatic operation. Brown to switched 12V for manual operation, Black to ground.
