Bilge Pumps

Your boat is equipped with 3 automatic bilge pumps; 1 forward and 2 aft. The forward bilge pump (500
gph) and float switch are located in the head area. The 2 aft bilge pumps and float switches are located
in the aft bilge, below the bilge hatch. Bilge 1, a 1500 gph pump, is the furthest aft pump. Bilge 2, an
1100 gph pump, is installed just forward of Bilge 1.
To check the operation of the bilge pump, first turn the bilge pump on at the instrument panel by pressing
the bilge pump switch to the on or forward position; the switch light should be illuminated. To check and
see if the bilge pump is operating, open the hatch over the applicable bilge pump and listen to hear the
bilge pump running. Second, turn the bilge pump off at the instrument panel and check the bilge pump
float switch.
Float switch
Bilge pump
The bilge pumps are equipped with automatic float switches (white box) that are mounted in close
proximity to the pumps. As long as your boat is equipped with an operable battery, the pumps will
operate automatically when water is present in the area. Each float switch is equipped with two plastic
knobs located on either side of the switch. Turn either one of the knobs to raise the float to engage the
applicable bilge pump.
recommended that you check the operation of the automatic float switch monthly.
If for some reason the indicator light on your bilge pump switch comes on, check your bilge for water. It is
not uncommon for rain water or water from washing your boat to accumulate in the bilge. Standing water
will activate the automatic float that is connected to the bilge pump. If you notice your pump running
frequently during your day on the water, you should check the thru hull fittings, hose connections, etc. for
any possible leaks.
Keep the bilge area clean and free from debris that could clog ports or inhibit float movement. Also, keep
the battery (starboard) that provides power to the bilge pump charged. If the battery is not charged and
flooding occurs, the boat could swamp causing damage and possible loss of life or property.

Baitwell Pump

The baitwell switch at the helm controls the baitwell pump (800 gph), which is mounted on a seacock in
the bilge area. The baitwell pump and seacock are accessible via the bilge hatch. Raw water for the
baitwell tub comes through the seacock, to the baitwell pump and then to the baitwell tub.
