Two small bilge pumps are located on
the hull bottom at the stern of your boat.
Water is pumped out of thru-hull fittings
located on the port and starboard sides of
the boat near the transom. The pumps
may be accessed by removing the aft seat
and door, in the area shown to the right.
You may turn your bilge pumps on
manually by flipping on a bilge switch
located on the dash at the helm.
Additionally, the bilge pump utilizes a
float as an automated switch to turn it on
automatically if necessary when the boat
is unattended. The bilge pumps are
designed to remove excess water only ,
and they are not intended to stop or
prevent rapid accumulation of on-board
water due to rough weather, hull
damage, or any other unsafe navigational
conditions.
