Horn - To sound the horn, push the HORN button.
Aft Bilge Pump - The PUMP switch at the dash is used
to manually activate the bilge pump in the engine
compartment. The bilge pump is used to remove water
from the bilge (bottom of the hull) area of the boat by
pumping that water overboard.
On all Candia FS models, the aft bilge pump is equipped
with an automatic bilge switch and will operate when-
ever bilge water rises above the pump stop level. This
will cause the internal float to move upward and activate
the pump.
When leaving your boat unattended for an extended pe-
riod, check the charge on the battery(s) periodically. Also
check the water level in the bilge and make sure the
float switch is functional.
If the automatic bilge pump must be disabled, discon-
nect the wiring plug near the bilge pump.
Bilge Blower- The BLOWER switch is used to activate
the bilge blower. The bilge blower is used to remove
any gas vapors that may have accumulated in the bilge
or engine areas.
Gasoline vapors can explode resulting in injury or
death.
1. Before starting the engine, check the engine
compartment bilge for gasoline or vapors.
2. Operate blower for four (4) minutes, and verify
blower operation. Run blower when vessel is
operating below cruising speed.
To verify blower is operating place your hand
over the vents. DO NOT rely on the sound of
the blower. Be sure a substantial amount of air
is being exhausted by the bilge blower. Check
the bilge blower system often, preferably be-
fore each cruise.
Navigation & Anchor Lights - Moving the NAV/ANC LTS
switch towards the NAV position activates the bow lights
and the all-around light or both portions of the mast light.
Move the switch to the ANC position to activate the all-
around light or both the fore and aft portion of the mast
light. The center switch position is OFF.
Wipers - The WIPER switch activates the windshield
wiper. This is an option for the starboard side only.
Accessories - Additional 12 volt equipment may be added
to the boat using the accessory switch. Certain acces-
sories may be wired directly to the fuse block below the
dash. For more information, refer to Section H-3B Instal-
lation of Additional 12 Volt Equipment.
Cockpit Lights - The CKPT LTS switch is used to acti-
vate the cockpit (courtesy) lights.
B. Installation of Additional 12 Volt Equipment
On the fuse panel, non-factory installed 12 volt acces-
sory equipment can be connected to the “ACC” termi-
nal. Accessory equipment can also be wired directly to
the “ACC” switch on the dash.
Be sure to provide proper fuse protection for all
12 volt equipment that is installed. Accessory
current should be limited to 20 amp if the con-
nection is made to the fuse block. If the “ACC”
switch is used, the current should be limited to
15 amp. Gauge and 12 volt equipment may
operate improperly and cause possible internal
damage at higher levels.
C. Interior Equipment
Stereo - On all models, the stereo is mounted at the
dash. It is connected at the fuse block and has a sepa-
rate in-line fuse provided in the stereo wiring for pro-
tection. For stereo operation, please refer to the
manufacturer’s manual included in the owner’s infor-
mation packet.
NOTICE
Please note that when the ignition switch is
placed in the off position the stereo is also shut
off. This applies to 2000 models and newer
only. On prior 2000 model boats, follow the
directions indicated in your stereo manu-
facturer’s operating instructions.
