So I'm renting a house in the keys for a long weekend over spring break this year. Boat will be in the water for a total of 4 days. What do I need to leave on as far as keeping the bilge pump running? I normally leave it on while I'm on the water using the button on the Connext screen. Any other tips you guys can think of? I'm not new to salt water and the boat is rinsed with salt away after every use. Just not so sure if I need to leave the key on to keep the bilge pump on or how that works.

Each boat seems to be slightly different, but with my boat as long as the battery switches are on, the bilge is active. That said, when I leave my boat unattended at a dock overnight I always try and have her connected to shore power.

I’ll have mine there for a week at a time Battery switches off but my bilge pump works. I would test it on the trailer with a hose if you are unsure.
i just flush it with salt away when I pull it out. Sometimes I feel guilty by day 4 and pull it and wash it, never much on it.
where in the Keys?

Yeah I think that's a great idea. Going to check it out on the trailer and see how it works. We're going to be in Duck Key right next to Hawks Cay.

Make sure your auto bilge is on, on the screen it will be highlighted blue. I left mine for months in the salt water this year without issues, batteries switch need to be on the OFF position.

That’s in the settings of the Connext screen?
