I have a Rule 1500 bilge pump with an internal automatic float switch. There is a ground lead, a constant hot lead wired directly to the battery, and a switched hot lead. I would like to wire in an alarm buzzer when the float switch is activated, but see no way to do that unless I get a new pump and external float switch. Am I correct in that assessment, or is there a trick that I haven't been able to come up with.
Also, the two hot leads are fused with the automotive type spade fuses. They are both 20 amps, which seems entirely too much. What would be the proper fuse?
Thanks for any help
