This is the infamous relay string that makes all three “standard” bilge pumps come on when the high water float switch is activated, a worthless, possibly dangerous feature in my opinion.
Since I have my port motor and fuel tank out of the boat, providing easy access to this panel, I took the chance to remove it.
For those of you at home who don’t feel like counting (and who could blame you), there are 7 (!) relays, 30 plus wires and a buss bar to make this work.
All of the pumps, float switches and alarms work fine without this mess. They just don’t come on all at the same time unless their floats all activate or you turn on the manual switches.
