SWITCHES, CONTROLS, PORTS, GAUGES AND INDICATORS
Switches
The switches are fitted with LEDs, which will illuminate when power is being
supplied to the corresponding switch and its function.
BILGE (Bilge Pump)
This switch operates the bilge pump to remove excess water from the bilge area
of the boat manually. When the switch is pressed on, the bilge will turn on. When
the bottom is pressed off, the bilge will turn off.
Your ATX boat is equipped with an automatic bilge pump which detects excess
water accumulation and will turn the bilge pump on automatically. The switch
does not have to be on for the automatic system to work. This switch can also
be used to test the bilge pump, by listening to hear that the pump is operating.
It may not pump water unless water is present. Do not operate the bilge pump
continuously when it is dry.
Inspect the bilge area frequently for evidence of excessive water. Continuous
operation of the bilge pump can mean there is excess water in the bilge. Test the
bilge pump at regular intervals. Debris can also prevent the pump from oper-
ating or make it operate continuously. Make sure no debris is blocking the bilge
pump float. See your ATX Dealer if you have any questions.

This switch operates the engine compartment ventilation blower to remove
explosive fumes from the area. When the blower switch is pressed on, the blower

The blower must be operated for a minimum of four minutes before starting the
engine. Also, the blower should be operated continuously when at idle or running
at slow speeds.
