I am trying to wire a 12 volt aerator pump into my boat. The pump works fine hooked straight to the battery. My problem is when I try to run it through a switch, the pump works but barely. I have bypassed the switch and hooked it up straight to the fuse block and it also runs fine. My meter reads 12.59 volts at the fuse box and also through the switch. I have tried three separate switches. I can touch the hot wire going to the switch to the wire going back to the pump and it works fine. I'm lost on what to do?
