Bilge Pumps
Bilge Pumps
All Sailfish Boats are furnished with Rule Bilge Pumps. The
Rule 2000 GPH (gallon per hour) pump has a built in au-
tomatic float switch. This is engaged when the water level
rises in the bilge and the float rises in the pump causing the
pump to turn on.
These pumps can be tested by turning them upside down,
the pump should turn on, once turned back over it will run
for a few more seconds and then shut off. The pumps also
have a manual switch function on the main switch panel.
These pumps are wired into your boat bypassing the bat-
tery switch so that they have power at all times, this allows
the automatic feature to work while you are away from the
boat and the batteries are turned off.
Sailfish boats 240CC and larger are equipped with a for-
ward bilge pump that is an electronic sensor pump.
These pumps have a state of the art internal water sensor
that detects water and automatically activates the pump
when there is enough present to be pumped out. These
pumps can be tested by placing your finger over the “Test
Area” on the back of the pump for 5 seconds, the pump will
turn on to let you know it is functioning correctly.
All wiring and switches to these pumps are the same as the
Rule 2000GPH pumps.
