Your boat is equipped with three (3) automatic bilge
pumps, one forward (1,100 GPH - 4,160LPH), one
aft (2000 GPH - 7,571LPH) and one high water
emergency pump (2000 GPH - 7,571LPH).
Each pump is activated automatically by a mercury-
free float switch when the water in the bilge reaches
a predetermined level.
By depressing the switch on the control station
labeled FWD BILGE , AFT BILGE or AUX bilge
(See figure 2.17.1) the operator can energize the
pumps regardless of the position of the float switches.
The aft pump discharges water overboard by way of
a thru-hull fitting on the aft port hull.
The high water pump discharges water overboard by
way of a thru-hull fitting on the aft starboard hull.
The forward pump discharges water overboard by
way of a thru-hull fitting on the midship starboard
hull (See figures 2.7.1 & 2.7.2).
