Chapter 6: Plumbing
Bilge Pumps
•
Your boat has two
bilge pumps for
pumping water out
of the bilge.
•
The autofloat
switches, mounted
next to the bilge
pumps, will turn On
the bilge pumps if
bilge water rises
above a preset level.
•
You can also turn
On the bilge pumps
yourself using the
switches at the
helm.
•
The bilge pumps are
wired directly to the
battery. Unless the
battery is dead, the
bilge pump system
should work even
when your boat is
unattended.
Bilge Pump
Testing
•
The bilge pumps are vital to the safety of your boat.
•
Test the bilge pumps often.
1. One at a time, turn On each bilge pump switch at the helm.
2. Make sure that water in the bilge is pumped overboard.
•
If there is water in the bilge and the pump motor is running but not pumping, inspect the discharge hose for a kink
or collapsed area.
•
If the discharge hose looks okay, check the bilge pump housing for clogging debris (see below).
NOTI CE
Discharge of oil, oil waste, or fuel into navigable waters is prohibited by law. Violators are sub-
ject to legal action by the local authorities.
