No. Not oil sensing. Just that when covered in a slime buildup and sailing the switch stays wetter longer while tacking from the water sloshing in bilge and pump runs more than it should.

Some of the oil sensing ones are IMHO too sensitive and won’t ever run the pump unless the bilge water is drinking water clean.

We switched to that 4 seasons ago and it has worked perfectly. The only thing to watch out for is wet slime buildup on the switch will cause it to be fooled and run. Quick wipe off and good for several more months. Installation is simpler than a traditional float switch and it is not constantly testing like an automatic bilge pump.
