Control Switches
The number and type of switches at the helm vary with every model. This is a de-
scription of the control switches on a typical helm.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch has four different positions: Acc/Off/Run/Start. The Acc position is
for use with any accessories while the engine is off. With the switch in the vertical
position the engine is off. Turning the switch one notch to the right allows the opera-
tor to check all of the electrical equipment, including blower, pump, and lights before
starting the engine. Turn the switch all the way to the right to operate the starter.
Two ignition keys are provided with your new boat. Do not force the key into the igni-
tion. Key tumblers are located vertically, thus the key should be vertical when placed
into the switch. Always attach the ignition key to a floating key chain to prevent loss
in the water.
Blower Switch
The blower switch activates the engine compartment blower. The primary function of
the blower fan is to eliminate fumes from the engine compartment. Never depend
solely on the blower to eliminate dangerous fumes. Before starting the engine, al-
ways open the motor box to check if fumes are present. Switch on the blower fan for
a minimum of four minutes before starting the engine, failure to do so could result in
an explosion.
Bilge Pump Switch
The bilge pump switch activate the bilge pump. The bilge pump is used to pump out
any excess water in the bilge area caused by heavy seas, long periods of rain, or
leaks. The bilge area is the lowest point of the hull where the water settles. The
bilge pump moves water from the bilge area and through hoses and empties it
through an opening in the hull. An automatic pump function is engaged automatically
by the use of a float switch in the bilge area so that any excess water in the bilge is
automatically pumped out. Do not operate the bilge pump when the bilge area is
empty.
Courtesy Lights Switch
The courtesy lights switch operates the lights located throughout interior of the boat.
These lights vary in each Gekko model.
Lights Switch
The lights switch supplies power to the navigational lights including the bow light,
stern light and pole light. When operating your boat in low light situations or at night
use the lights switch to activate all of the running navigational lights.
Horn Switch
The horn switch sounds the horn and is to be used to alert others of your location,
need for help, etc.
Circuit Breakers
Each switch has its own re-settable circuit breaker. These are used to protect the
major boat circuits from shorting. In the event that a switch does not function, turn
the switch off, wait one full minute, then reset the circuit by depressing the black but-
ton below to corresponding switch. If the circuit continues to trip, there is a problem
somewhere that must be attended to immediately. Contact your authorized Gekko
dealer or service department to resolve the matter.
