If the bilge pump does not come on when the float switch is submerged, attempt to
manually turn it on through your switch panel. If the bilge pump comes on and
evacuates the water, it is clear that the float switch is not functioning properly. If the
bilge pump does not come on via the switch panel, check the breaker panel inside the
console to see if a breaker has been tripped. If the breaker has been tripped, reset it and
turn the switch on again, listening for the bilge pump to turn on.
If the bilge pump fails to turn on, turn the battery switch to the OFF position, then
unhook the bilge pump from its cradle by pressing the locking tab and twist motor
housing counter-clockwise. You will feel the pump release from the cradle. The entire
bilge pump and wiring should release from the cradle. After removing the pump, check
the underside and impeller areas for miscellaneous items that might clog the pump. If
any obstructions are present remove the debris and set the pump back into the cradle.
Once set back in the cradle, press the pump down on the base then twist until the lock
button snaps it into place. Once this is completed you can try to turn the pump on again.
If the bilge pump still does not turn on, it likely needs to be
replaced. It is not recommended to use your boat if the bilge
pump and/or float switch are not functioning properly.
Systems
Ball Valves
Ball valves can be used to serve several purposes. They
allow seawater to enter the boat, in the case of livewells,
and they also act as a safeguard to stop water from
entering. To tell which position a ball valve is in, open or
closed, look at the valve and determine the direction of
flow. When the ball valve handle is in the same position
as the direction of flow, the valve is in the “OPEN” position.
When the ball valve handle appears to cross the direction of
flow, the valve is in the “CLOSED” position.
201 Deckdrain System
The deckdrain system is equipped with 1 1/2” thru hull fittings through the aft port and
starboard hull sides. These fittings have to be installed lower than the drains in the
cockpit floor so that gravity will allow the cockpit to drain free of water. This puts these
