West Marine is 9 and Jeff. The auto part of the bilge gets wired to the battery, the manual part of the bilge gets wired to a sp switch, so you can override the auto part. Call me if you have any ??

There you go! My boat didnt have a switch with auto on it, just on and off, in that case you wire the switch on the pump to the battery, but if you have a switch with auto, you got it. The only thing I dont like about that idea is, you have to remember to leave it on auto, or it wont work. I like to switch mine to manual after the boat has been sitting a while, and I go out, when I am getting up on plane, just to pump the extra out.

Just use an on/off rocker switch and hook it up like Jim does.

I have the switch you need here at my store. On-Off-On 3 pole switch. West Marine part number 211854. $14.99 and I'll ship it for free. It's a Cole Hersee weather resistant switch.
Or I also have this one for $22.99 if you want it labeled nice and neat:
