Bilge Pump Maintenance
Frequently inspect the area under the fl oat switch
to ensure that it is free from debris and gummy
bilge oil. To clean, soak in heavy duty bilge cleaner
for 10 minutes, agitating several times. Check
for unrestricted operation of the fl oat. Repeat the
cleaning procedure if necessary.
Inspect the bilge pump intakes and keep them
free of dirt or material which may impede the
fl ow of water through the pump.
To clean the pump
strainer, depress the lock tabs on both sides of the
pump and lift the pump motor (Figure 3.1.2).
If water does not come out of discharge hose:
1. Remove the motor module to see if the
impeller rotates with the power on.
2. Remove any debris that may have
accumulated in the nozzle section or
strainer base.
3. Check hose and connection on hull side for
debris and proper connections.

Your 190 Outrage is equipped with one 1,100 GPH
(4164 L) bilge pump located in the aft cockpit sump
just forward of the motorwell.. The pump is activated
automatically by a mercury-free fl oat switch when
the water in the bilge reaches a predetermined
level.
By depressing the switch on the console switch
panel labeled BILGE PUMP (See fi gure 2.12.1) the
operator can energize the pumps regardless of the
position of the fl oat switch.
Operation
The bilge pump switch has two operating
positions:
• Position 1 - AUTO
The float switch cycles the bilge pump
“ON” when the water level in the sump reaches
a pre-determined level.
•
Position 2 - ON
The pump will run continuously until the
switch is returned to the “AUTO” position.
The bilge pump is wired directly to the battery.
Be sure the fl oat switch is clear of debris to
prevent continuous operation and subsequent
discharge of the battery.
