BILGE PUMPS / FLOAT SWITCHES
Your 330 TE is equipped with four 1500 GPH bilge pumps. There is a forward and aft bilge pump in
each sponson. Each pump is connected to a float switch which automatically triggers the pump when water
comes to rest in the bilge. The float switches are connected to the battery management panel through the
hull harness and receive power from the fuses along the the top of the panel. These fuses are constantly
energized and ensure the safety of your boat even when the battery switches are in the “off” position. The
pumps can be manually engaged using the switch pod located on the console.
The aft bilge pumps are located behind the aft rigging compartment and can accessed through the
inspection plates in the motorwell, forward of the engines. The wiring for these pumps is secured on the
inboard side of the centerline stringer which is visible from the inspection port. The forward bilge pumps
are located in the forward rigging compartments which can be reached through the inspection plates on the
aft wall of the in-floor fishboxes. The wiring for these pumps is secured to the aft face of the fishbox bulk-
head, just above the inspection port.
Inspect the operation of your bilge pumps and their connections at least annually. To do so, activate the
pump by momentarily lifting the arm on the float switch, then check the operation using the rocker switch
on the dash panel. When testing, do not allow the pumps to run dry for more than two to three seconds.
Extended dry operation can result in damage to your pump. Keeping your bilge areas clean can also help
extend the life of your pump.
FRESHWATER SYSTEM
The freshwater pump is located on the aft bulkhead in the port rigging compartment. The pump is con-
nected to a 20 gallon freshwater tank located in the console. The tank is filled through the inlet fitting
located on the port vertical wall of the console. Similar to residential well pumps, the freshwater pump
pressurizes the system to 45 psi. then shuts down until the pressure drops below that level. Most owners
leave the pump “on” throughout the day, and use the system when necessary. On the 330, the freshwater
pump feeds the pull out faucet on the port side of the bait prep station, and and the marine head. To view
the layout of the freshwater system see the drawing on page 16

SEACOCKS
Ball valves (seacocks) are installed on the water intake for the livewell and raw water systems. The
seacocks must be in the open position for these systems to work. When open, the handle will be parallel to
the valve. In the closed position the handle is perpendicular to the valve (see picture below). World Cat rec-
ommends that the seacocks remain in the closed position when not in use, or when the boat is left unat-
tended to prevent the vessel from taking on water due to a plumbing failure.
