Rule 3-Way Bilge Panel Switch – 12/24/32V
Take full control of your bilge pump with this three-position panel switch from Rule — one of the most trusted names in marine bilge systems. Designed for 12V, 24V, and 32V electrical systems, this switch gives you the flexibility to run your bilge pump automatically, shut it off completely, or override it manually when needed.
The black stainless steel panel face is built to handle the marine environment, resisting corrosion and maintaining a clean, professional appearance at the helm or in an electrical panel.

Parts Desk Insights
This switch is the right choice when you want panel-mounted bilge pump control with a proper automatic mode — ideal for helm panels, electrical cabinets, or any installation where you want a dedicated, clearly labelled bilge switch rather than relying on a float switch alone. The fail-safe spring-return on the Manual position is a genuinely useful safety feature: it prevents the pump from being left running manually and draining your battery. Best used in conjunction with a bilge pump that has its own built-in float switch for automatic operation — the Auto position on this panel switch passes the signal through to the pump’s float switch rather than replacing it. If you’re building out a new bilge system or replacing an existing panel switch, confirm your pump’s voltage matches one of the three supported voltages (12V, 24V, or 32V) before installing.
