Autofloat Switches - Bayliner 2452 Classic Cruiser Owner's Manual

Chapter 6: Plumbing

Autofloat Switches

• The automatic bilge pumps use electromagnetic float switches (autofloat) to turn On the pumps whenever water
rises above a preset level in the bilge.
• One autofloat switch is mounted next to each automatic bilge pump.
• The autofloat switches are wired directly to the battery and will normally function even when the boat is com-
pletely shut down and left unattended.
Test the autofloat switches often
as follows:
1. Push the float switch test button
up to turn On the bilge pump.
• If the pump does not turn On,
check the inline fuse.
• If the fuse is good but the switch
still doesn't work, it may mean
the switch is bad or possibly the
battery is low.
2. Push test button all the way
down to return the float switch
to auto mode.
When the test is completed on each float switch, you MUST push the test button all the way
down to the auto position to return the switch to auto mode!
