Autofloat Switch - Bayliner 219 Owner's Manual

219 & 249 • Owner's Manual Supplement

Autofloat Switch

• The automatic bilge pump uses a float (autofloat) switch to automatically turn On the pump whenever water rises
to a preset level in the bilge.
• The autofloat switch is normally mounted next to the bilge pump it controls.
• The autofloat switch should be tested often as follows.
Autofloat testing:
1. Lift the float switch test button
up to turn On the bilge pump.
• If the pump does not turn On,
check the fuse on the fuse block.
• 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. After testing, push the test but-
ton all the way down to return
the float switch to auto mode.
When the test is completed on the float switch, you MUST push the test button all the way down
to return the switch to auto mode!
