Hi I have the 2018 AR240 so I think our models are similar enough. I appreciate your video. Couple questions. Did you drill a hole from the engine compartment into the rear bilge area for the hose to pass through? Not sure what the best way is to drill back there. Also I noticed you installed a separate switch on the panel - looks nice. Did you consider bridging the electrical lines from the primary bilge pump. Just wondering if I can control it all with just one switch. Appreciate any advice.

I added a second one to my 242 and you don’t have to drill a hole to the rear bilge area but you will have to drill a hole for the discharge port. Also, I have mine on an automated switch so it automatically comes on when it’s needed. I never did add an “active” switch.

Thx. I think I’ll tie my manual switch to the existing switch and then run the automatic switch wire directly to the battery.
