AFT BILGE PUMP
& FLOAT SWITCH
Your boat is equipped with two automatic impeller-type bilge pumps which are used to pump water out of the bilge.
Bilge pumps are controlled by automatic bilge pump float switches (autofloat switches) and/or switches at the helm.
Bilge pumps are wired directly to the battery so they will normally function even when the boat is completely shut
down and left unattended.
Discharge of oil, oil waste or fuel into navigable waters is prohibited by law. Violators are
subject to legal action by the local authorities.
THE FORWARD BILGE PUMP IS LOCATED UNDER THE ENTRY STEPS
