Auto Bilge Pump Questions

Took my Sea Ray to a poor quality shop last summer to have an auto bilge switch put in as we leave it in the water over the summer. Seemed to work fine all summer, but this winter, while it was trailered and when I reconnected the battery to lower the foot for storage, the bilge pump turned on a few times...no water in hull. almost seemed to be on a timer. After inspection, noticed that, although i requested a float switch, none had been installed. Is there another type of "auto" bilge switch, or did they change my pump out ot a pump with built in float? any suggestions appreciated!

Float swithches are real bad about deciding to just quit or run all the time. They take a real beating in the boat when there is no water to pump. They bounce up and down on the bottom of the hull every time you hit a bump and just get the life beat out of them. I understand your need for the float if your boat is not under cover and in the water all summer. I would recomend looking into a pump with a built in switch or just replace the float type every other year or so just to be on the safe side.
