Operation
Operate your bilge pump system using the two 2-posi-
tion rocker switches located on the helm station switch
panel. The AUTO switch position supplies constant
power to the water level sensor 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 supplies 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.
!
CAUTION
Keep the bilge pump switches 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 switches in the AUTO position
allows the system to sense rainwater or melting
snow that might accumulate in the bilge.
!
CAUTION
The bilge pumps will be damaged if they are run
continuously when no water is in the bilge.
!
CAUTION
Test your bilge pumps and water level sensors
before each mission. Manually activate the
water level sensor when the rocker switch is in
the AUTO position and verify pump operation.
Clear away any sludge or debris that might
restrict the pumps or water level sensors.
