[C320-list] Bilge pump counter/alarm

[Christopher Nichols]

   You can easily make one using a pedometer. Replace the little pendulum
   switch with a reed switch around which you wind thin copper wire. Add a
   series resistor to the copper wire and attach that simple circuit
   across the bulb on the switch panel that comes on whenever the bilge
   pump operates in auto mode.
   Fun little project !

     I am looking to add a bilge pump counter and alarm. What have others
     done/used? Why?
     FWIW. I want the alarm for when I am motoring in the cockpit and the
     counter when away from the boat.
