Bilge Pump
The bilge pump switch is used to activate the bilge pump so that
any excess water in the bilge area may be drained out. You should
know that the bilge pump has a sensor in the bilge area and will
turn on automatically whenever 2 in. or more of water is detected.
The bilge pump is wired directly to the battery. This circuit can be
identified by an inline fuse from the battery labeled “Auto Bilge
Power.”
Blower
This switch activates the blower for the engine compartment.
The primary function of the blower is to eliminate any fumes in
the motor compartment prior to starting the engine and while
operating below cruising speed.
Gasoline Vapors Can Explode. The U.S. Coast Guard
specifies that the bilge blower must be operated for a
minimum period of 4 minutes PRIOR to starting the engine to
remove fuel fumes from the bilge area. Run blower below
cruising speed.
