24 Offshore Fwd Bilge Pump

['84Offshore]

Went to replace the fwd bilge pump and found 1 of the 3 wires broken due to corrosion.......could not reach where the wire broke under the floor.
Decided to wire it for Auto only.......

Any hints on trying to snake a new wire?

old shift cable, electrical tape, dish soap.

On a few of the Grady's I've done for the front bilge, I put a 4 pole terminal board in the bottom of the starboard storage compartment. Low enough where the pump wires will reach without making any extensions. This keeps the connections out of the bilge away from corrosion/water, also easier to rewire new pumps instead of working through the small inspection plate.
