Bilge Pumps
•
Your yacht has
several bilge
pumps for pump-
ing water out of
the bilge.
•
The autofloat
switches, mounted
next to the bilge
pumps, will turn
On the bilge
pumps if bilge
water rises above a
preset level.
•
You can also turn
On the bilge
pumps using the
switches at the
helm.
•
The bilge pumps
are wired directly
to the battery.
Unless the battery
is dead, the bilge

should work even
when your yacht
is unattended.
Discharge of oil, oil waste or fuel into navigable waters is prohibited by law. Violators are sub-
