5. Bilge Pumps

Your vessel is equipped with two bilge pumps, with one located in the aft section of the boat, and the
second one located in the forward part of the boat. Access to the aft bilge pump is via the motorwell
access plate, while access to the forward bilge pump is through a hatch located in the interior floor
liner. Both bilge pumps are rated for 500 GPH, and are activated automatically by a built in mercury
free float switch when the water in the bilge reaches a predetermined level. You can also manually
operate the bilge pump at the console by pressing the bilge pump switch.
Inspect the bilge pump intakes and keep them free of dirt or material which may impede the flow of
water through the pump. To clean the pump strainer, depress the lock tabs on both sides of the pump
and lift the pump motor.
If water does not come out of the discharge hose:
1. Remove the motor module to see if the impeller rotates with the power on.
2. Remove any debris that may have accumulated in the nozzle section or strainer base.
3. Check hose and connection on hull side for debris and proper connections.
In addition, your boat comes equipped with a secondary manual bilge pump rated at 19L @ 45 strokes
per minute. When not in use, the manual pump is located in the L-lounge storage tub. To use, place
the barrel end into the water you wish to remove, run the attached hose overboard and pump.
