Honda, etc.), this switch will not illuminate the gauge lights.  Instead, your 
gauge lights will be illuminated when the ignition switch is turned on. 

• 

Middle position – All lights are off. 

• 

Back/Aft position – Anchor light is on; the bow lights and gauge lights are off. 

 

3  Bilge Pump - Your boat is equipped with an automatic bilge pump and float switch.  This 1100 gph pump is 

located in the bilge and is mounted as far aft as possible.  The bilge pump and float switch are accessible 
via the hatch that is installed in the center of the motor well.  The 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 terminals through breakers or inline fuses.  The circuit breaker is 

located at the helm next to the manual switch.  Depressing the bilge pump switch to the up or forward 
position activates the bilge pump. 
 

4  Baitwell Pump - The baitwell pump is located in the bilge area and is plumbed to a seacock (ball valve).  

This pump is also used for the raw water washdown.  See the Sea Water section of this manual for 
instructions on using the raw water washdown fitting. 

 

For the pump to operate properly you need to make sure the seacock is in the open position.  The seacock 
is wide open when the yellow seacock lever is vertical.  When the yellow seacock lever is horizontal, the 
seacock is closed. 

 

The underside of the seacock thru-hull is equipped with a scoop to allow the water to be picked up even 
when the boat is on plane.  When the boat is not in the water or the baitwell pump is not going to be used 
for an extended period of time, the seacock valve should be in the closed position.  To activate the pump, 
depress the switch to the up or forward position.  To turn the pump off after the baitwell tub is full, depress 
switch to the down or aft position. 
 

5  Fresh Water (Optional) – The fresh water switch provides power to the fresh water pump.  Depress the 

fresh water switch to the forward position to activate the fresh water pump.  The fresh water faucet/nozzle 
is installed behind a white rubber cap located just out side the transom door.  Press the button on the 
handle to activate the faucet/nozzle.  If the fresh water system is not going to be in use, stow away the 
hose and move the switch to the aft or down position to turn the pump off. 
 

6  Cockpit Lights (Optional) – Your vessel may be equipped with 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 safely move around your cockpit in low visibility 
conditions. 

 

7  Baitwell Light - To activate the baitwell light, depress the switch to the up or forward position.  This will 

activate the LED (light emitting diode) light inside your baitwell tub.  It is a soft white light that will keep your 
bait moving and lively.  It will also help you locate your bait on those early morning or late night fishing trips.  
To turn the light off, simply depress the switch to the down or aft position.

Accessory – These 5 amp accessory switches can be used for additional dealer installed accessories.  
Please check the amp rating of any new component and/or additional accessory before installation. 

 

Lighting Systems 

 

Cabin Light – Head

 

The cabin light is installed in the ceiling of the head area.  The dealer-installed battery provides power to this light.  
Press the small button on the base of the light assembly to turn on the light.  Press the button again to turn the 
light off. 
 

Navigation and Anchor Lights 

The navigation and anchor lights are required to be used for operation at night or under low visibility conditions to 
indicate your position to other boaters.  Visually verify the operation of your Navigation and anchor lights and
