Horn - To sound the horn, push the HORN button.
Aft Bilge Pump - The PUMP switch at the dash is used
to manually activate the bilge pump in the engine
compartment. The bilge pump is used to remove water
from the bilge (bottom of the hull) area of the boat by
pumping that water overboard.
On the 180, 190 & 200 Horizon® models, the aft bilge
pump is equipped with an automatic bilge switch and
will operate whenever bilge water rises above the pump
stop level. This will cause the internal float to move up-
ward and activate the pump.
This automatic bilge pump will be active when the igni-
tion switch is in the “OFF” position. The automatic bilge
pump wiring is connected to the fuse block.
When leaving your boat unattended for an extended pe-
riod, check the charge on the battery periodically. Also
check the water level in the bilge and make sure the
float switch is functional.
If the automatic bilge pump must be disabled, discon-
nect the wiring plug near the bilge pump.
Bilge Blower- The BLOWER switch is used to activate
the bilge blower. The bilge blower is used to remove any
gas vapors that may have accumulated in the bilge or
engine areas.
Gasoline vapors can explode resulting in injury or
death.
1. Before starting the engine, check the engine
compartment bilge for gasoline or vapors.
2. Operate blower for four (4) minutes, and verify
blower operation. Run blower when vessel is
operating below cruising speed.
To verify blower is operating place your hand
over the vents. DO NOT rely on the sound of
the blower. Be sure a substantial amount of air
is being exhausted by the bilge blower. Check
the bilge blower system often, preferably before
each cruise.

B. Installation of Additional 12 Volt Equipment
On the fuse panel, non-factory installed 12 volt acces-
sory equipment can be connected to the “ACC” termi-
nal. Accessory equipment can also be wired directly to
the “ACC” switch on the dash.
Be sure to provide proper fuse protection for all
12 volt equipment that is installed. Accessory
current should be limited to 20 amp if the con-
nection is made to the fuse block. If the “ACC”
switch is used, the current should be limited to
15 amp. Gauge and 12 volt equipment may
operate improperly and cause possible internal
damage at higher levels.
C. Interior Equipment
Stereo - On all models, the stereo is mounted at the
dash. It is connected at the fuse block and has a sepa-
rate in-line fuse provided in the stereo wiring for pro-
tection. For stereo operation, please refer to the
manufacturer’s manual included in the owner’s infor-
mation packet.
