Fuel Transfer Pump
The fuel transfer pump can be used to transfer fuel to a
nearly empty tank or to equalize the fuel level in
each tank.
1. The house battery switch must be turned On for
the fuel transfer pump to run.
2. Before transferring fuel, check the fuel gauges to
make sure that fuel is not about to be transferred
into a full (or nearly full) tank. For accuracy, check
the fuel gauges when your yacht is not underway.
3. After checking the fuel levels, hold the fuel trans-
fer switch On to the side you want to pump fuel to.
NOTE: This switch must be held On throughout
the entire fuel transfer process.
•
If the fuel transfer pump does not run when you fol-
low the steps above, check the pump’s breaker on
the 12-volt DC push-to-reset circuit breaker panel
(for the location of this panel, see the Component
Locations section in Chapter 2 of this supplement).
•
If the pump is running, but you are having problems
transferring fuel, see if the fuel transfer hose or fuel
tank vent hose is kinked or collapsed. If there are no
visible signs of a problem, contact your
local dealer.
4. When the desired amount of fuel has been trans-
ferred, release the switch.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD!
•
NEVER transfer fuel into a full (or nearly full) fuel tank.
•
Fuel transferred into a full tank may spill overboard through the tank venting system.
