This lanyard should be worn at all times while operating the vessel, if the vessel operator falls or moves a unsafe distance away from the helm controls the lanyard will pull out causing the en- gine to shut down. Make sure the lanyard is not attached to a part of your clothing that could be easily torn free caus- ing the switch not to pull. See your YAMAHA or MERCURY owner’s manual for more information on this safety feature. Engine Break-In Period Each new outboard motor will need to go through a break in period to make sure all of the internal moving parts and components have a chance to correctly mate.

Sailfish 320 EXP 04/24/2019 Bilge Pumps All Sailfish Boats are furnished with Rule Bilge Pumps, The Rule 2000 GPH (gallon per hour) pump has a built in automatic float switch. This is engaged when the water level rises in the bilge and the float rises in the pump causing the pump to turn on. ***The 320CC and 320WAC are furnished with two of these pumps as shown in the picture - The lower pump can be engaged auto- matically or manually via the bilge pump switch on the dash - The higher pump is an automatic only pump that is wired directly to the batteries.*** These pumps can be tested by turning them upside down, the pump should turn on, once turned back over it will run for a few more seconds and then shut off. The pumps also have a manual switch function on the main switch panel. These pumps are wired into your boat bypassing the battery switch so that they have power at all times, this allows the automatic fea- ture to work while you are away from the boat and the batteries are turned off. Sailfish boats 241CC and larger are equipped with a forward bilge pump that is an electronic sensor pump. These pumps have a state of the art internal water sensor that detects water and automatically activates the pump when there is enough present to be pumped out. These pumps can be tested by placing your finger over the “Test Area” on the back of the pump for 5 seconds, the pump will turn on to let you know it is functioning correctly. All wiring and switches to these pumps are the same as the Rule 2000GPH pumps. FISHING FOCUSED. FAMILY FRIENDLY.™ www.SailfishBoats.com...
Sailfish 320 EXP 04/24/2019 Raw water Washdown system The raw water wash down on your Sailfish Boat is powered by a Shur-flo Pro Blaster Pump which creates a pressur- ized system, once the pump is turned on and pressure is created the pump will shut down until more pressure is needed. The raw water wash down pump can be accessed through the bilge access door in the aft of the boat. To operate make sure the seacock is in the open position. The hose fitting for the wash down is located in the transom splash well, to use simply attach a hose with a nozzle and turn the switch on. Pressure will build up in the hose and the nozzle and as you spray the pump will continue to engage as needed. FISHING FOCUSED. FAMILY FRIENDLY.™ www.SailfishBoats.com...
Sailfish 320 EXP 04/24/2019 Freshwater Washdown and Shower System The freshwater washdown and shower system on your Sailfish Boat is powered by a Shur-flo Pro Blaster Pump which creates a pressurized system, once the pump is turned on and pressure is created throughout the freshwater hoses; once they are all pressurized the pump will shut down until more pressure is needed. All of the freshwater systems on the boat will operate on this system once the freshwater switch is engaged. You should allow a few seconds for the system to prime and pressurize before attempting to use any of the showers/sinks ect. The freshwater holding tank is located behind the fuel tank in the bilge area. The fill for this tank is located under the board- ing latter on the port side of the vessel.

The flooded T allows both boxes to have a centralized drainage location that can be operated by a single pump Troubleshooting Electric Motor Runs but doesn’t pump • Disconnect pump and turn off all power. • Disconnect hoses and unscrew housings. • Check entire hose system for blockage. • Inspect tricuspid valves for blockage or inverted valve(s). • If valve(s) are blocked, remove blockage, re-assemble the pump and continue use. • If a tricuspid valve is inverted, replace with a new tricuspid valve, reassemble the pump and continue use. If the electric motor will not operate, check that: • The isolator switch is on. • There is 12 volts at the battery terminals. • The in-line fuse / circuit breaker are operational.
