For what it's worth, I have two
In Response To: High water alarm.... ()

bilge pumps with one set higher higher then the other. I connected a 12V buzzer across the float switch contacts so that when the second bilge pump goes off the alarm will sound as well. The first smaller pump will keep the rain water, prop shaft drip or any other accumulation cleaned up. The second pump is for high water. If the second pump goes off then the alarm will also and you know you have more then the usual drip.
