The bilge pump is activated both manually, by a switch
in the helm station, and automatically by a float switch
located next to the pump in the bilge. The automatic
float switch remains activated when the battery switch
is in the “OFF” position. All bilge pumps pump water
out of thru hulls located above the waterline in the hull.
Note: See Electrical Systems for additional information on bilge pump operation.
IMPORTANT: Any oil spilled in the bilge must be thoroughly removed and properly disposed
of before operating the bilge pump. The discharge of oil from the bilge is illegal
and subject to a fine.
