What's the current rating of your bilge pump and how long a run from the supply point (fusebox/battery)?

[TUFTY]

I have looked at the pump, there is no current rating visible

it reads "12 volt 2 amp Fuse" The pump is 400 GPH

The 500 GPH pump has a 1.9 amp draw

the length from pump to power supply is approx 3mtr

Thanks

Ok, that's a pretty low current draw and a short run, so you'd get away with using 1.0 or 1.5 sq. mm cable for the lights & pump.

Thanks

I'll get on with it then.
