OS 325
The forward pump has a similar sensor
switch on the pump itself.
Aft Automatic Bilge Pump
Current is supplied to the automatic sensor
switches whenever the batteries are con-
nected. The bilge pump switches in the helm
are supplied current when the house battery
switch is in the "ON" position. Breakers for
the manual and the automatic functions are
located on the MDP.
Activate the manual bilge pump briefly each
time the boat is used to ensure pumps are
operating properly. Activate the automatic
switch manually to verify operation by plac-
ing your finger on the black sensor switch on
the pump housing. There is a delay (5 sec-
onds) built into the switch before the pump
will activate. The pump will continue to oper-
ate for a short time after you remove your
finger. Refer to the manufacturer's informa-
tion under "Plumbing" for more information.
When the boat is out of the water, the bilge
can be drained by a thru-hull drain located in
the transom, near the bottom of the hull. It is
important to check the drain plug regularly to
make sure it is tight.
A loose drain plug will allow sea water to
enter the bilge and cause the boat to sink.
Check the drain plug frequently to make
sure it is secure.
Any oil spilled in the bilge must be thor-
oughly removed and properly disposed of
before operating the bilge pump. The dis-
charge of oil from the bilge is illegal and sub-
ject to fine
Exterior Drains
Your Pursuit boat has scupper drains
located in each corner of the rear cockpit.
These drains are connected to ball valves in
the hull side. To open and close the valves
use the control rods in the mechanical
space. The valves are closed when the rods
are pushed all the way outboard. They are
open when the rods are pulled all the way
inboard.
Deck drain ball valve levers
The lift out storage box located in the tran-
som is equipped with a Banjo® fitting to
allow the drain hose to be disconnected from
the drain. Lift the storage box up and slide it
to the starboard side of the opening to gain
access to the fitting. Pull both levers
upwards to disconnect the hose. The stor-
age box can now be removed. To reinstall,
push the hose fitting onto the drain adapter
and pull both levers down.
