All potential sources of ignition located in spaces containing gasoline powered
machinery or gasoline fuel tank(s), or joint fitting(s), or other connection(s), between
components of a gasoline system, shall be ignition protected in accordance with
the requirements of ISO 10133, ABYC E-11, AC and DC Electrical Systems On Boats.

This pump must be fused with a 25A fuse for each motor
The table above is based on the ABYC AWG WIRE SIZE CHART representing data
in a non-critical circuit where a 10% voltage drop is acceptable. Please refer to
the latest ABYC AWG WIRE SIZE CHART for information for use in a critical circuit
where a 3% voltage drop is required.
Special Note
– If the fuse opens, check the following:
1. Remove the pump and check the impeller housing for debris. Remove
debris, replace fuse and continue operation.
2. Check all wiring in the circuit for corrosion, breaks, or short circuits. If no
debris is present and the wiring is in good condition, contact a qualified
marine technician or consider replacing the pump. Do not replace the fuse
with a higher rated fuse, using a fuse with a higher rating may result in
damage to the pump and/or the surrounding area.
If no debris is present and the wiring is in good condition, contact a qualified
marine technician or consider replacing the pump.
CAUTION:
Always install proper fuse size to prevent damage to
product should a short occur. Failure to install proper fuse could increase
risk of pump malfunction potentially resulting in personal injury and/
or fire hazard.
CAUTION:
Keep all wire connections above the highest water level.
Wires must be joined with butt connectors and a marine grade sealant
to prevent wire corrosion.
