To test a float switch:
1. Push the float switch test button up to
activate the bilge pump. If the pump does
not turn on, check the inline fuse. If the
fuse is good but the switch doesn’t work,
it may indicate a bad switch or possibly a
low battery.
2. Push the test button all the way down
to return the float switch back into the
auto mode.
F u e l S y s t e m
Carefully read the fuel sections of the owner’s manual and the engine operation manual.
Fuel Quality
Make sure your fuel suppliers are reputable and can be relied upon to furnish clean, high quality fuel. Once you have
found such suppliers, keep your tank as full as possible with their fuel, allowing for expansion due to temperature
variations. Then, if you are forced to add to the tank with a potentially poor quality supply, the portion of poor quality
fuel will be minimized. Refer to your engine manual for fuel grade recommendations.
