Systems
The bilge pumps are wired directly to the HOUSE battery for operation in the automatic mode. In the
automatic mode, the bilge pump starts pumping as the water level reaches the bilge pump float switch.
The switch on the dash
(Figure
3-1) illuminates if an auto-float switch activates the pump.
If a bilge pump automatically activates, inspect the area immediately.
The House battery is also used as the Generator starting battery in these models. Because the pumps are
wired directly to this battery the pumps can activate regardless of the Red Master Battery Switch setting.
However the bilge pumps are protected by circuit breakers located on the Battery Switch Panel. Placing
these breakers to the OFF position, or if they trip to the OFF position, de-energizes the pump.
The bilge pump is normally held in place with clips for easy removal and cleaning. Use care when re-
moving and reinstalling the bilge pump. If you remove the pump for cleaning, after reinstalling perform
a systems test to ensure proper operation.
For additional information on the battery system refer to the
"Electrical System" on page
3-31.
Figure 3-7. Battery Switch Panel - Bilge Pump Circuit Breakers
Should a bilge pump fail to operate, check the breakers and wiring connections. If the pump operates but
fails to discharge water, inspect for clogs or kinks in the discharge line.
If oil is present in the bilge, do not use the bilge pump to discharge the waste.
Mop up the waste and dispose of properly.
