High Water Alarm - Regal 53 SC Owner's Manual

HIGH WATER ALARM-BILGE
The high-water alarm warns the skipper of a possible emer-
gency in the bilge area. There is an automatic fl oat switch
installed in the center bilge on the side of a main stringer.
The automatic fl oat switch is mounted above the normal
bilge water levels. See the illustration above. If the water
rises over this predetermined level the bilge switch sends
a signal to the helm mounted alarm. If the alarm sounds
bring the vessel back to an idled neutral position and turn
off the engines. Open the engine hatch and determine the
cause of the problem.
Possible causes are:
1. Engine or generator hose leak.
2. IPS gasket leak between hull and drive.
3. Muffl ers or exhaust hose leak.
4. Hull leak due to striking an object.
5. Water or waste tank leak.
6. Seacock leak.
7. Heat exchanger leak.
8. Transducer or underwater light leak.
9. Water heater tank or heat exchanger hose leak.
