Bilge Pump
This boat is equipped with one
electric, impeller type, bilge
pump, located at the lowest
point of the bilge. The flow rate
of the pump is 8.3 gallons (31.6
liters) per minute.
The bilge pump is controlled by
a switch on the dash panel,
which should turned on when-
ever water begins to accumulate
in the bilge.
Bilge Pump Testing
Test the bilge pump often to make sure it is working properly.
To test the bilge pump:
• Turn on the dash-mounted switch and make sure that water in the bilge is
pumped overboard.
If bilge water is present and the pump motor is running but not pumping:
• Inspect the bilge pump hose for a kink or collapsed area.
