Bilge Pump - Regal 2700 Owner's Manual

CHAPTER 6
Bilge Pump/Automatic Float Switch
Before each outing check the operation of the bilge pump and automatic
switch. With the dash switch in the automatic position manually pick
up the automatic switch or in some cases activate with a bucket of
water. Under these conditions the automatic switch should energize
the bilge pump. Periodically check for debris around the grates of both
components. The bilge pump and automatic switch can be found in
the sump just in front of the engine.
AUTOMATIC SWITCH
Chemical Toilet
Before each outing make sure the chemical toilet is filled with the proper
chemicals, paper is available, and holding tank unit is empty. Refer to
the systems chapter for more information.
If your vessel utilizes the optional pump-out fitting you can clean out
your holding tank without having to remove it from the vessel. Most
marinas will connect a hose attachment to the deck fitting and remove
the waste in the holding tank for a small fee. After the pump-out rinse
the hose briefly to eliminate a build-up of debris and odor.
For extended cruising, carry extra chemical and paper recommended
by the manufacturer since household varieties are not usually
environmentallly friendly.
