BILGE PUMP (Electric only)

Bilge pump assembly removal ........................................... 2-8
The bilge pump and fuse circuit feeds directly from the power distribution post/buss. The main power feeds via the red
wire to the accessible fuse holder outside (located on the back of the boat top), then through the green/brown wire to the
pump.
The bilge pump is a 24VDC sealed, brushless, automatically-activated unit. The self-contained, solid-state electronics
energize the pump motor on a pulse method; if the amp draw is above a preset threshold, it indicates that water is present
and the pump will continue operation until the amp draw drops, indicating that no water is present. Note: If the inlet is
su
ffi
ciently blocked, no water will enter the inlet and the pump will not sense amp draw, so it will shut o
ff
, even though
water continues to accumulate in the hull. It is imperative that the daily inspection includes removing the vent plate and,
using a
fl
ashlight, inspecting to see if water is building up in the hull.
A bilge pump fuse, which is accessible for service from the outside of the hull near the vent plate, is located in the power
feed line from the main buss.
Note:
The replaceable fuse is a 3-amp time-delay/slow-blow cartridge-style fuse.
Using any fuse type other than this speci
fi
cation could result in poor performance and/or pump failure.
