I have a rule 200 gph non-automatic bilge pump and I dont know which wire is Pos or Neg. There is a brown wire and white wire. I am hoping someone else has this same pump and can let me know which is which, thank you!

Brown is the standard color for the + wire in bilge pump wiring. Easy enough to test with a bucket of water and a battery. If you get it backwards, the pump will run in reverse and no water with come out. Might be able to whip up a batch of Margaritas with it, though.:D
