Section 4 Boat Systems
Operation
The bilge pump is controlled by a two-position rocker
switch located on the helm station switch panel. The
AUTO switch position supplies power to the mechani-
cal float switch so water is pumped anytime it is
detected.
The rocker switch has a red LED indicator that will be
lighted anytime the bilge pump is running.
The MANUAL switch position provides power directly
to the bilge pump. When the rocker switch is in the
MANUAL position, the bilge pump will run even if
there is no water in the bilge.
The rocker switch has a red LED indicator that will be
lighted anytime the bilge pump is running.
Maintenance
The bilge pump is a sealed unit and maintenance is
very simple. Check the bilge area weekly to make
sure there is no debris or sludge that could foul the
float switch or clog the pump.
Regularly check the condition of the float switch to ver-
ify that it is not stuck in the ON or OFF positions by
debris in the bilge.
!
CAUTION
Keep the bilge pump switch in the AUTO
position anytime the bilge drain plug is in place,
whether the boat is in the water or on a trailer.
Keeping the switch in the AUTO position allows
the system to sense rainwater or melting snow
that might accumulate in the bilge.
!
CAUTION
The bilge pump will be damaged if it is run
continuously when no water is in the bilge.
