Pressing the “Auto” side of the switch activates the automatic
float switch next to the pump. The pump moves water out
through a thru-hull fitting in the hull. The pump is also acti-
vated by an automatic float switch that is activated whenever
the batteries are connected and the bilge switch is set to “Auto.”
The pump will run as needed whenever the water in the bilge
accumulates high enough to raise the float switch to the “ON”
position and turn off when the water is removed.
Note: The bilge pump on the Sportfish and Abaco will
start automatically when there is sufficient water
in the bilge to activate the float switch. The float
switch is protected by a circuit breaker located
near the battery switch and is always supplied cur-
rent when the batteries are connected and the bilge
switch is set to “Auto.”
Bilge (Dorado)
Manually activates the aft bilge pump located in the stern
bilge near the transom. The pump moves water out through a
thru-hull fitting in the hull. The pump is also activated by an
automatic float switch that is activated whenever the batter-
ies are connected. This pump will run as needed whenever
the water in the bilge accumulates high enough to raise the
float switch to the “ON” position and turn off when the water
is removed.
Note: There is no “Auto” position on the bilge switch
on the Dorado. The bilge pump will start auto-
matically when there is sufficient water in the bilge
to activate the float switch. The float switch is
protected by a circuit breaker or fuse located near
the battery switch and is always supplied current
when the batteries are connected.
