Bilge Pump System - Centurion Ri257 Owner's Manual

Controls, Features and Options
Batteries
Centurion Boats come standard with Dual batteries along with a Battery Switch
that allows for "OFF/ON/COMBINE" functions. "ON" should be used for normal
operation of the boat. "COMBINE" should only be used to jump start the boat in
emergency situations. If listening to the stereo without the motor running make
sure the Battery switch is only in the "ON" position. This way if the battery dies,
you can still flip the Battery switch to "COMBINE" to start the motor. The battery
switch is located under the Observer seat.

BILGE PUMP SYSTEM

The Federal Water Pollution Control Act prohibits the discharge of oil or oily waste
into the water. Violators can be fined $5,000.
Water will enter the boat for a number of reasons, including heavy seas, long
periods of rain, or leaking seacocks or fittings. The bilge area is usually the
deepest part of the hull where the water settles. The bilge pump moves water from
the bilge area through hoses and empties it through an opening in the hull.
