CHAPTER 6
6-24
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
The automatic switch should
energize the bilge pump.
Another approach to check
operation would be to fi ll a 5
gallon bucket with water and
pour it into the aft bilge.
The pump should begin
the activation cycle and
water should be exiting
the starboard thru-hull.
Periodically, check for debris
around the grates of bilge pump base. The bilge pump and automatic
switch are located in the bilge (sump) in front of the engine.
