12 volt equipment such as a cell phone. Using the
appropriate adaptor, the equipment draws power from
the boat's batteries.
Aft Bilge Pump - The BILGE PUMP switch is used
to manually activate the bilge pump in the engine
compartment. The bilge pump is used to remove
water from the bilge (bottom of the hull) area of the
boat by pumping that water overboard. The aft bilge
pump is equipped with an automatic bilge switch and
will operate whenever bilge water rises to a level that
will cause the float to move upward.
This automatic bilge pump is active even if the battery
selector switch is in the "OFF" position or if no battery
selector switch is installed. The automatic bilge pump
circuitry is connected directly to the batteries. When
leaving your boat unattended for an extended period,
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. Pressing the switch to the "ON" position,

engine compartment bilge for gasoline or
vapors. Operate blower for four minutes, and
verify blower operation. ALWAYS run the
blower when the vessel is operating below
cruising speed.
