Being a good techie luddite, I never trusted such things as float
switches. All it has is a single on/off switch on the panel. I am so
distrustful of complicated stuff that I dont even have shore power.


Float switches are very good. Just wire in parallel to a dash switch, Use
a lighted dash switch and the light will come on when the float switch
activates. Then when you do not notice the boat taking on water, the pump
will start dewatering earlier than you will engage the switch.
