1. A system for operating a marine Bilge pump comprising:
- a. at least one sensor for detecting the presence of liquid;
b. a first electronic transceiver operatively associated with said sensor;
c. a second electronic transceiver communicatively associated with said first electronic transceiver;
d. a device operatively associated with said each of said transceivers; and
e. an actuator for controlling power and operation of said device;
wherein said sensor, when actuated, transmits a signal to a master controller, said first transceiver sends a signal to said second transceiver and said second transceiver, processes said signal in said master controller that subsequently sends a signal to said device to initiate or cease operation.

Abstract
A system and method for turning on and off a bilge pump whereby bilge water level is detected using level sensors and bilge pumps are turned on and off based on the detected water level. The system further incorporates an automatic transmission outside the watercraft to alert of the water level in the bilge. The system is controllable from within the watercraft and remotely controllable through wireless transmission.
