ject to legal action by the local authorities.
AFT BILGE PUMP
& AUTOFLOAT SWITCH
• Your boat has two bilge pumps for pumping water out of the bilge.
• The autofloat switches, mounted next to the bilge pumps, will turn On the bilge pumps if bilge water rises above a
preset level.
• You can also turn On the bilge pumps yourself using the switches at the helm.
• The bilge pumps are wired directly to the battery. Unless the battery is dead, the bilge pump system should work
even when your boat is unattended.
