2 Bilge Pump (Aft) - Your 24 Walk is equipped with an aft bilge pump. This 1100 gph pump is
located in the aft bilge and the automatic float switch is mounted in close proximity to the pump.
The aft bilge pump is wired automatic to the battery and has a manual override located at the
switch panel on the console. The automatic float switch is wired directly to the
Starboard
battery
terminal through a breaker or inline fuse. The circuit breaker for the aft bilge pump is located at
the helm next to the manual switch.
Keep the bilge area clean and free from debris that could clog ports or inhibit float movement.
Also, keep the battery (starboard) that provides power to the bilge pump charged. If the battery is
not charged and flooding occurs, the boat could swamp causing damage and possible loss of life
or property.
Depressing the aft bilge pump switch to the up or forward position activates the bilge pump. If for
some reason the indicator light on your bilge pump switch comes on, check your bilge for water. It
is not uncommon for rain water or water from washing your boat to accumulate in the bilge.
Standing water will activate the automatic float that is connected to the bilge pump. If you notice
your pump running frequently during your day on the water, you should check the thru hull fittings,
hose connections, etc. for any possible leaks.
3 Navigation & Anchor/All Around Lights - Locate the Nav. Light switch on the instrument panel.
This 3-way switch (forward, middle, back/aft) functions as follows when you press the switch:
Forward position - Turns on the bow lights and the anchor light. This position will
also activate the red light in your compass.
o
If you have Faria gauges on the dash panel, this function will
illuminate the gauge lights.
o
If the gauges were provided by the engine manufacturer (i.e.,
Mercury, Honda, etc.), your gauge lights will be illuminated when
the ignition switch is turned on.
Middle position – All lights are off.
Back/Aft position – Anchor/all around light is on; bow and gauge lights are off.
4 Cockpit Lights - Your 24 Walk may be equipped with optional cockpit/courtesy lights. The lights
have LED (light emitting diode) bulbs with a lifespan of approximately 10,000 hours. To activate
the lights, depress the switch to the up or forward position. The lights give off a soft warm light
which should not affect your night vision, but will still provide you with enough light to move around
your cockpit safely in low visibility conditions.
5 Cabin Light – There are 2 bullet lights installed in the bow area of the cabin. To activate the cabin
lights, depress the switch to the up or forward position. Each light can then be turned on or off
individually by turning the base of the light counter clockwise for on or clockwise for off.
6 Fresh Water – The fresh water switch provides power to the fresh water pump, which in turn
pumps water to the cabin sink and/or the optional fresh water cockpit shower. To activate the
fresh water pump, depress the fresh water switch to the forward or on position. If the fresh water
system is not going to be in use, the switch should be placed in the aft or off position.
7 Wiper – This “3 position switch” activates the optional port and/or starboard wipers. Depressing
the switch to the up or forward position activates the starboard wiper. Depressing the switch to
the down or aft position activates both wipers. The center position on the switch is the off position
for both wipers. See additional information on this component in the “Windows, Hatches & Doors”
section of this manual.
