How big is the actual float? I have a 2" diameter opening i want to insert it into. Also, can the cord be spliced to interrupt battery power?

I don't have it handy where I can measure it, but I can tell you that it is larger than 2". I don't see why it can't be spliced, (other than the float) it's just like any other AC cord.

The barrel for the batteries is the smallest diameter. It is roughly 5/8". I cannot see any indentations in the battery barrel and it is smooth throughout its length.

Yes, you can do that. You can also bypass the float switch and run the pump manually by unplugging the pump power cord from the piggyback plug on the float switch and running it directly to the power outlet.

You remove a panel on the deck of the ship to access the battery. The opening is approx. 2" x 3" x 3".

I have an inflatable Kayak that is 15 ft. long.. I took a piece of conduit and had it bend like a hook slightly smaller than my pontune (I can't spell) so when when inflated it would hold it in place. The cable for the transducer was fed inside the conduit up throgh the hook then to the battery, it works for me...

You will need to get an electrical pump to inflate it. Overall, was NOT really pleased with this product. Seems the walls of the float are really thin, and tend to break open very easily. My float only lasted one season.

I am not that familiar with the particular float you are referring to however I use the Kwik tel A-2 complete folding anchor as pictured here and it comes with a float already attached that has served my needs both on right v Eric and lakes as deep as 32 feet if you ad a little extra line to the 25ft that comes with the Kwik tel A-2....

No space for a charge. Too big to fit the case. Don't know what is a "float"

there is a plug that is attached to a lead that is approximately one and a half inches. I clipped the plug off and soldered to the leads directly

A paper clip or tool that will fit in the small hole will work but must be long enough--at least 1/2" or so. One must push very hard to depress the plastic clip inside. I used a large paper clip that I bent one side of out straight but it was hurting my hand badly so I gripped it with pliers to enable me to use enough force. To make it even more difficult. one needs to pull out the small battery tray by the tab simultaneous with pushing VERY hard with the paper clip or other small gauge tool. Really lousy design that will probably cause many to give up and throw the thing in the trash, but it is possible to do.

It should work fine by extending it. I did the same with mine. I used low voltage direct bury cable you would use for low voltage lighting. All the tank float is doing is closing the circuit which in turn will set off the alarm.

Cord is 15 feet long with piggyback plug that plugs in 120 vac outlet, and pump plugs in to the other side. Float switch is 1/2-1 HP open contacts with float down, closed contacts with float up.

Yes, that is what I did. The hole is too large, and I was concerned about the threads being damaged so I cut off a 5" long section of 1" Electrical PVC conduit keeping the flared end and the collet for the swim tether fits perfectly.

This connector is for changing from one plug format to another. If that is what you want to do I can't see why you couldn't use this in a connection to a boat battery. This isn't meant to be hooked to the battery itself. There are other connectors with eyelets for bolting to the battery or alligator type clips to connect to the battery terminals

I would think this is too big to use with a backup pump. This is pretty large. It is meant to be a primary pump float. I am not sure if a change in wiring would work as it is meant to work on AC not DC. Why not just get a DC float switch from watchdog?

This switch isn't really meant for continuous power. So it wouldn't stay 'on' as long as the float is in a particular position. Basically, when the float 'triggers' the switch to run (ie power on), it is programmed to automatically run for about 10 seconds, then it shuts off the power again. This time limit is hard coded and not configurable either. I don't think it will work for what you want to use it for.

Instructions are really not needed if you have a voltmeter. The bottom float is shipped normally closed and the top is normally opened. You can change this setting by taking the clip off and reversing the float 180 degrees. Both switches are simply on or off. What other info do you require?
