Thanks for the help. I will be charging the wiring so the pump circuit is wired directly to battery.

I just read the owner's manual. According to the owner's manual the bilge pump should be wired directly to battery by the factory.

A previous owner of this boat stored it in an indoor slip. Maybe he changed the wiring.

I have a 2021 170 Dauntless with a single battery that I keep on a boat lift. The automatic bilge pump only works with the battery switch in the ON position; the pump is not wired to a constant 12-Volt power source.

Q1: should a bilge pump be wired to the battery via main ON-OFF battery switch?

Q1: [Imputed question] how can a clog in a through hull drain be cleared?

BACKSTORY: On a 2021 170 DAUNTLESS the small drain behind the aft quarter seat is clogged. The water builds up behind the seat cushion.
