18. Bilge pumps
Your yacht has an automatic and a manual bilge pump. The primary electric pump is operated
by the switch on the 12v panel which should be left in the ‘AUTO’ position as the pump is
operated by a float switch which will automatically operate the pump when there is water in the
bilge. If the float switch fails, hit the switch at the 12v panel once to manually bypass the float
switch and run the pump. You should see a green LED at on when the switch is set to manual
override.
The manual bilge pump is operated from the cockpit and is located at the port helm.
