This automatic bilge pump will be active when the bat-
tery selector switch is in the “OFF” position. The auto-
matic bilge pump circuitry is connected to a circuit breaker
on the battery switch panel. Refer to Sections H-2C &
H-2D for additional information on battery switch opera-
tion.
When leaving your boat unattended for an extended pe-
riod, check the charge on the battery(s) periodically. Also
check the water level in the bilge and make sure the
float switch is functional.
If the automatic bilge pump must be disabled, discon-
nect the wiring plug near the bilge pump.
Bilge Blower- The BLOWER switch is used to activate
the bilge blower. The bilge blower is used to remove any
gas vapors that may have accumulated in the bilge or
engine areas.
Gasoline vapors can explode resulting in injury or
death.
1. Before starting the engine, check the engine
compartment bilge for gasoline or vapors.
2. Operate blower for four (4) minutes, and verify
blower operation. Run blower when vessel is
operating below cruising speed.
To verify blower is operating place your hand
over the vents. DO NOT rely on the sound of
the blower. Be sure a substantial amount of air
is being exhausted by the bilge blower. Check
the bilge blower system often, preferably before
each cruise.
Navigation & Anchor Lights - Moving the NAV/ANC LTS
switch towards the NAV position activates the bow lights
and the all-around light or both portions of the mast light.
Move the switch to the ANC position to activate the all-
around light or both the fore and aft portion of the mast
light. The center switch position is OFF.
Wipers - The WIPER switch activates the windshield
wiper. This is an option for the starboard side only on
the 210-265 models and is standard on the 280-285
models.
Trim Tabs - Trim tabs are standard on the 280 Horizon
and 285 Sundowner models. They are optional on the
230 and 260 Horizon and 235 and 265 Sundowner mod-

els. If the boat is equipped with electric hydraulic trim
tabs, the trim tabs are controlled by the TRIM TAB
switches. Refer to Section E-6 Trim Tabs for more
information.
Refrigerator - The refrigerator is standard on the 280
Horizon and 285 Sundowner. It is also available on the
260 Horizon and 265 Sundowner as an option when
ordering the optional cockpit refreshment center (L-
shape seating only). The circuit breaker on the AC panel
protects the refrigerator. The refrigerator will automati-
cally operate on the 12 volt system or on the 110 volt
system when using the dockside power or the dockside
inlet. Using the 12 volt system can deplete the battery
quickly, and excessive drain on the battery may cause
irreparable battery damage. Dual battery installation is
required for this option. Refer to Section H-2C Battery
Switch Operation and the owner’s packet for the refrig-
erator operating instructions.
Accessories - Additional 12 volt equipment may be added
to the boat using the accessory switch. Certain acces-
sories may be wired directly to the fuse block below the
dash. For more information, refer to Section H-3B Instal-
lation of Additional 12 Volt Equipment.
Cockpit Lights - The CKPT LTS switch is used to acti-
vate the cockpit (courtesy) lights.
Cockpit Sink - The cockpit sink water pump is activated
by the FRESH WATER switch located on the instru-
ment dash.
Transom Washdown - A water pump is installed in the
engine compartment for the transom washdown system.
It is activated by the FRESH WATER switch located on
the instrument dash. The transom washdown comes
standard on the 280/285 and is optional on the 210-
265 models.
B. Installation of Additional 12 Volt Equipment
On the fuse panel, non-factory installed 12 volt acces-
sory equipment can be connected to the “ACC” termi-
nal. Accessory equipment can also be wired directly to
the “ACC” switch on the dash.
