Bilge Pump System - X SHORE EELEX 8000 Owner's Manual

Bilge pump system

The bilge pump system consists of two submersible electric pumps that pump bilge water from the lower sections of the
boat to an outlet in the stern. The system is automatically activated as needed: presence of water increases the
resistance felt by the pump wheel, which activates the system. The total output of the two pumps is 102 liters per minute.
WARNING
Do not rely on the bilge pump system to pump out the boat in the event of hull damage. The capacity of the bilge
pump system is not designed for that.
CAUTION
Do not dry run the bilge pumps for a long time as this may damage them.
The bilge pump system can be controlled manually as follows:
•
From the steering console touchscreen. See Controls and X Shore information , page 30.
•
By the switch on the electrical box inside the steering console. See Manual switch for the bilge pump, page 15.
NOTE
If there is any sign of coolant or oil in the bilge water, the cause must be investigated immediately. Never pump
coolant or oil overboard when your boat is in the water.
