proper bilge setup?

What exactly do I need to install a bilge? Obviously a pump, switch and hosing, but I also need a exit port right? How about a 1-way valve?
Can I use this http://waterwitchinc.com/online_car...s_id=5&zenid=578606487515cebf225f400d4d4fbd9d as my switch? Will that literally automatically turn my bilge on as necessary thus making a toggle switch unnecessary? Can you give me a full list of things that I need/you recommend? I don't need links to purchase, just a part list. I like the idea of ab automatic switch if possible

I use the WaterWitch and it works great. No moving parts and will last forever. I have two bilges and one WaterWitch for both. You will need a bilge fitting and hose to dump the water overboard. How you mount the WaterWitch and the bilge is up to your creativity but the switch needs to be as low as possible.

Correct me if I'm wrong (which I wouldn't doubt)

But I don't think this is a float switch.

"What are the sensors and what are they composed of?
The sensors are 2 stainless steel disks that you see on the front of our switches. They transmit impulses which activate the pump, and turn it off."



If so, is this everything I need to order besides adheasive/mount and hose?

Thats correct it is not a float style switch. There are no moving parts and it works great. However most opinions are to just use an on/off switch. I didn't want mine to run any more that necessary with my small battery so leaving it on wasn't a good idea to me. . You will need a bilge, some hose, a thru hull fitting, a switch of your choice and a way to mount the bilge. 5200 is pretty good but may come loose over time and takes awhile to dry.
