Bill,
Try looking at the battery positive terminals for small (#16-10) wires with
or without fuses. Many owners add bilge pumps and run their power supplies
direct to the batteries. Next, look at the battery switch terminals. These
may also be used to attach bilge pumps directly to batteries without the
possibility of disconnection by any switch or breaker. Either practice is
acceptable, but only if protected by a suitable in-line fuse. Use exactly
the size fuse recommended by the pump manufacturer. Larger fuses could
result in a fire if the pump is jammed by debris and stalls without drawing
enough current to blow the fuse.
