Frequently inspect the area under the float switches
to ensure they are free from debris and gummy bilge
oil. To clean, soak in heavy duty bilge cleaner for
10 minutes, agitating several times. Check for
unrestricted operation of the float. Repeat the
cleaning procedure if necessary. 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.

The two bilge blowers remove odors and
excessive heat from the engine compartment and
provide ventilation through the hull vents. The
blowers are wired through individual circuit
breakers on the main DC breaker panel (see Fig.
6.3.1) with a switch on the control station switch
panel (see Fig. 2.12.1) and on the DC distribution
panel located in the salon (see Fig. 6.12.1).
Blower switches can be turned ON at one location
