Agreed again! Switching to the backup pump quickly is a must.
Then I can crawl into the engine room and switch valves to
service the failed pump at my leasure. I'm also installing a vacuum
gauge in a location viewable in the pilothouse. Hour meter on
each pump allows me to manage the use of each pump.

I want to be able to switch pumps with the flick
of a switch not crawling into the engine compartment to switch
valves.

Engine compartments with dead engines can get ugly in 12' waves beating
against the hull in a foundering boat. I'm with Doug. I want it
automated
as it can get with all the isolation valves open and a pump switch at the
helm.
