I tell you what, if I had a boat on a mooring and only used it once a week, I'd be back in the surf myself. I use my boat in so many locations fresh & salt and you just can't beat the flexibility of a trailerable aluminum V-hull. I'd be lost without it, but luckily my weekends shot with the yard sale anyway, so hopefully I'll be back in business the first of the week. As for wiring the light, couldn't tell you, it's factory. It's a standard toggle switch for the bilge pump, with a light built in to the top of the switch. If the float runs the pump it lights (I think) even when in the down position (off position), when the pump is manually run (on or up position) the light is on. It was on in either position and like a fool, I was too tired to deal and forgot to run back out after getting gear stowed to disconnect the battery. What concerns me is the crushed motor totter, which might indicate that the motor trim became involed somehow. Gremlins live in my coverit I think, evil little bastards and they like screwing with me boat.
