Auto-float Switch (If Equipped
• The automatic bilge pump uses a electromagnetic float switch (auto-float) to turn On the pump whenever water
rises above a preset level in the bilge.
• The auto-float switch is mounted next to the automatic bilge pump.
• The auto-float switch is wired directly to the battery and will normally function even when the boat is completely
shut down and left unattended.
Test the auto-float switch often as follows:
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
does not work, it may mean the switch
is bad or possibly the battery is low.
2. Push test button all the way down to
return the float switch to auto mode.
