I'm using the switch that most guys use on their steering wheel, but since my boat uses a combination throttle/shifter, I had a shifter handle made from aluminum bar stock. It was threaded for the shifter, with the face milled flat, and the switch mounted to the face. It works great.

I am using a Rex Marine billet steering wheel mounted switch. I bought the unit from Rex as well. It looks pretty easy to install. Ill let you know when I have finished.
Hey post a picture of that switch once you mounted it. You using the one with the curly wires or are you running the wires through the steering shaft?
No I took my steering column apart and bored out the shaft so I can run the wire through the center. Tonight I am going to machine a slot for the cable in the piece the wheel mounts to. It should be a pretty clean setup when I am done.
I will post some pictures when it is completed.
Here you go Taylorman,
Just finished mounting it last night.

Miller, that looks great! Good job!
Are you using the Diverter Power Relay from Banderlog? It pulls the power directly from the battery instead of the ignition switch. Less chance of burning the ignition switch out and/or intermitant power loss.

But now you got me thinking, How much power does this pump take does anyone know? Do you have any information on the Banderlog Relay this is the first I have heard of it?
Im still trying to figure out where I am going to mount the pump. That thing is huge! Im not real comfortable with the little plastic mounting bracket they have so I am probably going to make and aluminum mount for it.
Oh I almost forgot ..Thanks for the complement
here's the link to the info
Banderlog Diverter Power Relay (http://www.banderlog.com/products/po...owerRelay.html)
here's a picture of it. It just plugs in between the male and female fittings of the wiring harness of the diverter.

oops, here's the wiring diagram, real easy plug and play

Thats a good idea but for $70 I can wire up my own relay. What can I say Im cheap. I think I will just wire it to my switched power and if I have problems make my own relay.
But thanks for the info!
The diverter control I sell has detents to set it at.
How does a hydr. one let you know where you are?
Is there an indicator?
