Section 5 - Bilge System
305 Conquest-Owner’s Manual
41
The 305 Conquest bilge pump system
consists of: (1)-1100 GPH pump and
(1)-2000 GPH bilge pump and (1)-2000
GPH emergency high water bilge pump.
Each is operated by a float switch that
will activate automatically when water in the bilge reaches
a certain level. The 1100 GPH pump is located in the
cabin and can be accessed through the cabin floor. The
2000 GPH pump and high water pump is located aft of
the freshwater tank and can be accessed through the aft
cockpit hatch.
Bilge Pumps
BILGE PUMP
The bilge pump is wired directly to the battery. Be sure
that the bilge pump float switch is clear of debris to
prevent continuous operation and subsequent discharge
of the battery.
NOTICE
OPERATION:
At the helm station there is a switch marked “AFT
BILGE” and “FWD BILGE” on the switch panel. De-
pressing the switch will energize the pump regardless of
the position of the float switch. Each pump discharges
water overboard via a thru-hull fitting.
MAINTENANCE:
The bilge pump is a completely sealed unit and mainte-
nance is very simple, but it will require you to check
around the float switch for debris and gummy bilge sludge
that could impede the bilge pump from working prop-
erly. Check the bilge pump and hoses for wear; clean
and repair if neccessary.
