Autofloat Switches - Bayliner 265 Owner's Manual

Chapter 2: Features / Systems

Autofloat Switches

• Automatic bilge pumps use electromagnetic float (autofloat) switches to turn On the pump whenever water rises
above a preset level in the bilge.
• One autofloat switch is mounted next to each automatic bilge pump.
• Autofloat switches are wired directly to the battery and will normally function even when the boat is completely
shut down and left unattended.
Test the autofloat switches often
as follows:
1. Push float switch test button
up to turn On bilge pump.
• If the pump does not turn
On, check the inline fuse.
• If the fuse is good but the
switch does not work, it may
indicate a bad switch or pos-
sibly a low battery.
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!
