To assist you, we have listed below descriptions of indi-
vidual switches and their uses:
To prevent electrical problems, use only replace-
ment fuses or breakers that are of equal rating to
the originals.
Accessories - Accessory equipment that is customer or
dealer installed. These circuits are wired to a circuit
breaker in the 298/328. For additional information on
adding accessories, refer to Section H-2B.
Aft Bilge Pump - The BILGE PUMP switch is used to
manually activate the bilge pump in the engine compart-
ment. The bilge pump is used to remove water from the
bilge (bottom of the hull) area of the boat by pumping that
water overboard. The aft bilge pump is equipped with an
automatic bilge switch and will operate whenever bilge
water rises to a level that will cause the float to move
upward.
This automatic bilge pump is active even if the battery
selector switch is in the OFF position or if no battery
selector switch is installed. The automatic bilge pump
circuitry is connected directly to the batteries. When
leaving your boat unattended for an extended period,
check the charge on the battery(s) periodically. Also check
the water level in the bilge and make sure the float switch
is functional.
If the automatic bilge pump must be disabled, discon-
nect the wiring plug near the bilge pump.
Blower - The BLOWER switch is used to activate the
bilge blower. The bilge blower is used to remove any gas
vapors that may have accumulated in the bilge or engine
areas.
Gasoline vapors can explode resulting in injury
or death. Before starting the engine, check
engine compartment bilge for gasoline or vapors.
Operate blower for four minutes, and verify blower
operation. ALWAYS run the blower when the
vessel is operating below cruising speed.
Cockpit Lights - The CKPT LTS switch is used to activate
the cockpit (courtesy) lights.
