7. ELECTRONICS
This circuit provides a switched and circuit-protected point to wire Electronic Accessories to. The
terminal block is located under the helm face.
The Electronic Terminal Block is powered by the Starboard Battery System and a 30-amp circuit
breaker protects its circuitry.
Refer to the Electronic heading in the Navigation section of the Control Helm portion of this
Owner’s Manual for a more complete description of this terminal block.
8. BILGE PUMP CIRCUITS
Intrepid provides three Bilge Pump circuits as standard equipment. These Bilge Pumps allow the
ability to pump water out of the Bilge areas of the boat.
The bilge area in your Intrepid is divided into two distinct areas. The hull’s stringer system further
divides each area into smaller areas. Each smaller area is allowed to drain into an adjacent lower
area and collect at the deepest point of the larger area by a network of limber holes.
NOTE
Access to limber holes is provided through out the boat by the many access hatches or panels.
Limber holes should be checked periodically to ensure that the holes are not clogged with debris.
A plugged limber hole will not allow water to drain to the bilge pumps.
Each Bilge pump has two methods of operation. Manual operation of the two aft bilge pumps is
controlled entirely by the Manual Position of the Bilge Pump Switch at the Control Helm. Manual
operation of the Cabin Bilge Pump is controlled by the toggle circuit breaker on the Cabin AC/DC
panel. A float switch adjacent to the Bilge Pumps controls Automatic operation. The Float Switch
will turn the pump ON at a predetermined bilge water level.
Automatic operation of the Bilge Pumps will occur when a battery is connected to the boat’s
electrical system. Automatic operation is not dependent on the position of any Battery Switch.
NOTE
If fuel, hydraulic or oil type fluids should collect in the bilge do not allow the Bilge Pump System to
discharge the bilge contents overboard. Significant fines or penalties are possible otherwise.

BILGE PUMP #1
The Bilge Pump #1 circuit provides the ability to pump out accumulated water from the after port
side of the boat.
Bilge Pump #1 is powered by the Port Battery System and a 20-amp circuit breaker protects its
circuitry.
