Hey Friends,
Had a quick question about the wiring of the bilge pump on our 2003 MKii. Currently we're set up with the battery bank 1 as the starting battery and bank 2 as the house battery. It seems the bilge pump is wired to bank 1 only, and only runs when I have the selector on batt 1.
When away from the boat, I like to leave the bilge pump set to auto, but would prefer to not have my battery selector set to 1 so I can preserve my starting battery and not have any drain.
Not a big deal by any means, but was curious if others are set up the same way, and was this by design?
Thanks for your thoughts!

Move the pumps 12v input to battery 2, or the common lug of the battery selector switch.
