Autofloat Switch
An electromagnetic float (autofloat) switch automatically turns on the bilge pump
whenever bilge water rises above a preset level. An autofloat switch is mounted
next to the bilge pump. The autofloat switch is wired directly to the battery and will
normally function even when the boat is completely shut down and left unattended.
Test the autofloat switch often as follows:
Float Switch Test:
1. Lift the float switch test button to turn on the bilge pump.
2. If the pump does not turn on, check the inline fuse. If the fuse is good but the
switch doesn't work, it may indicate a bad switch or possibly a low battery.
3. Push the test button all the way back down to auto mode.
When test is completed on a float switch, you must push the test button all the
way down to the auto position to turn the switch back to auto mode!
Discharge of oil, oil waste or fuel into navigable waters is prohibited by law. Vio-
lators are subject to legal action by the local authorities.
