ITH
Your boat is equipped with automatic float switches adjacent to the bilge pumps. A float
switch will enable the pumps to come on automatically if a significant amount of water
accumulates in the bilge. The float switches function independently of the battery select switches
and can activate the bilge pump with the battery select switches in the off position. The bilge
pumps are also equipped with switches at the helm. When a switch is in the "on" position the
pump will run continuously. The pump should not be left in the "on" mode unless someone is
monitoring the system and can turn the pump off when the bilge is dry. When a switch is in the off
position, the pump is off unless activated by the float switch.
To prevent damage to the bilge pump, do not run it dry for a prolonged period of time.

OCATIONS
Your boat has two bilge pumps. One is located in the aft bilge near the transom and can be
accessed through the port center access plate in the motorwell. The second is in the rigging area
under the aft berth. This pump can be reached through the lift out board under the center aft berth
cushion.

Your boat is equipped with a high bilge water alarm. Although some residual accumulation of
water in the bilge is normal, this alarm will alert you if water reaches a high level that could
impair operation of the boat or be damaging to equipment. It is activated by a float switch located
in the forward bilge. This float switch is separate from the bilge pump system and only activates
the high bilge water alarm. The alarm panel (pictured below) provides both audible and visual
alert signals. This panel is located inside the cabin at the aft berth entry way. When activated, the
red light on the switch will be on and a high pitched tone similar to that of an in home smoke
detector will sound. This is the recommended position to leave this switch. With the audible alarm
off, the red light will be the only indication of a high water situation.
