Your boat is equipped with an automatic float switch adjacent to the bilge pump. This switch
will enable the bilge pump to come on automatically if a significant amount of water accumulates
in the bilge. This switch is wired directly to the battery. The battery must be in good condition to
ensure proper operation. The pump is also equipped with a switch at the helm. When the helm
switch is in the "on" position, the pump will run continuously. When the switch is in the off
position, the pump is off unless activated by the float switch.

To operate the cockpit shower, the water pressure switch located on the accessory panel must

fitting. Depress the button on the back of the wand to spray water. Reinstall the shower wand by
gently feeding the hose down through the deck and close the cover. The water pressure pump is
mounted to the transom in the aft port storage compartment. Reference

System” on page 8–17 for a layout diagram of the fresh water system.
