I added one of the Rule electronic bilge pumps to my 31' Open and ran the power through a switch on the dash so I could turn it off when sleeping aboard.

I'm not sure that I'd ever want a bilge pump (something that is supposed to help keep me safe) hooked up to a hard switch on the dash. If anything you could put a float switch in line so that if the boat does start taking on water it would still engage once the float switch turns on.

As far as winter storage goes, I just turn my switches off. My bilge pump breaker switches are on a panel under my companion seat (3900 Sovran). They do have a fail safe switch that make it difficult to accidentally turn off.
