Thank you
for your purchase of a Spectra Bimini 300 system. When properly installed and
maintained, it will provide years of trouble free service. Professional installation is strongly rec-
ommended. Like any piece of mechanical equipment, the system will require inspection and
service, so plan ahead for service access and install
“
service loops
”
in cabling. If a dealer is in-
stalling the system for you, review the location of the components to ensure the installation will
meet your approval upon completion.
Bimini Installation Quick Start
Important Details for Installer
1. The system must have a dedicated sea water inlet to guarantee a constant flow of water to the
system. The inlet should be as low in the boat as possible with a dedicated, forward
-
facing
scoop
-
type thru
-
hull fitting.
2. Both the Bimini 300 feed pump module and the Clark Pump/Membrane module must be in-
stalled in a well ventilated compartment where
temperatures
will not exceed 113°F (45°C).
Many engine compartments exceed this temperature when underway. Warranty will be void if
the installation does not meet this requirement.
3. Follow the wire gauge charts in the instructions! Using larger wire than specified is accepta-
ble.
4. If you are separating the Clark Pump/membrane assembly, please review the high pressure
tube assembly instructions. Improper assembly will cause failure!
5. Run, test, then sea trial the complete system before assuming it is operational. If the boat is in
fresh or dirty water, see Dry Testing the System. After testing, make sure the flush cycle oper-
ates properly. The water going overboard at the end of the flush should measure <1000 PPM
Total Dissolved Solids.
6. The Spectra Connect control must have DC power continuously to achieve the full benefits of
the fresh water flush system. The domestic fresh water pressure must be on and the fresh water
tank level maintained. Calculate about 7 gallons (27 liters) per flush.
7. The Spectra Connect control must be de
-
powered (DC power off) after the system is pickled
or winterized.
8. Spectra dealers are responsible for educating the vessel owners on the operation and mainte-
nance of the system. Please walk through the entire installation with our customer.
9. The equipment owner should fill out the warranty card or register online.
