Bilge Pump - Bayliner Trophy 1703FS Owner's Manual

12 CHAPTER 2: COMPONENTS/SYSTEMS

Bilge Pump

Your boat has one impeller-type bilge
pump. The bilge pump is automati-
cally controlled by a float switch (see
"Autofloat Switch" on the next page).
The bilge pump can also be con-
trolled by a switch on the dash.
Check the bilge pump often to make
sure it is working properly. To check
the bilge pump:
• Turn on the dash-mounted switch
and make sure that water in the
bilge is pumped overboard.
If bilge water is present and the pump
motor is running but not pumping:
• Inspect the bilge pump hose for a
kink or collapsed area.
If the bilge pump hose is not the prob-
lem, check the bilge pump housing
for clogging debris:
Bilge Pump Cleaning:
To remove the power cartridge:
1. Lift the tab while rotating the
fins counterclockwise.
2. Lift out the power cartridge.
3. Clear the outer housing of
debris.
To reinstall the power cartridge:
1. Make sure the "O" ring is prop-
erly seated.
2. Coat the "O" ring with a light
film of vegetable or mineral oil.
3. Align the two cams on either
side of the power cartridge with
the two slots on the outer hous-
ing and press the power car-
tridge into the housing while
twisting clockwise.
4. To ensure proper reinstallation
of the power cartridge, attempt
to twist the fins counterclock-
wise without lifting the tab: The
cartridge should stay in place.
