Bilge Pumps

The boat is equipped with three (3) bilge pumps, therefore, there are 3 bilge pump switches to choose from on the
switch panel. The locations of the three (3) bilge pumps and the labeling of the bilge pump switches are as
follows:

Bilge 1 - This 1100 gph bilge pump is located in the bilge and is installed as far aft as possible. If
your vessel is equipped with an optional generator, this pump will be located under the generator
but is still reachable.

Bilge 2 - This 1500 gph bilge pump is located just forward of the 1100 gph bilge pump and is quite
visible.

Fwd Bilge - This 1100 gph pump can be accessed via the hinged panel under the mattress in the
mid berth and is very accessible.
Depressing the applicable bilge pump switch (Bilge 1, Bilge
2 or Fwd) to the up or forward position activates the
corresponding bilge pump.
There are 2 steps in properly checking the bilge pumps.
First, turn the on bilge pump at the instrument panel by
pressing the applicable bilge pump switch to the on or
forward position. When the bilge pump switch is in the on
position, the switch light should be illuminated. To check
and see if the bilge pump is operating, open the hatch over
the applicable bilge pump and listen to hear the bilge pump
running.
Second, turn the bilge pump off at the instrument panel and check the bilge pump float switch. Each pump is
equipped with an automatic float switch (white box) that is mounted next to the bilge pump. As long as your boat
is equipped with an operable battery, each pump will operate independently when water is present in the area.
