Autofloat Switches
• Automatic bilge pumps use electromagnetic float switches (autofloat) to turn On the pumps whenever water rises
above a preset level in the bilge.
• An autofloat switch is mounted next to each automatic bilge pump.
• Autofloat switches are wired directly to the battery and will normally function even when the boat is completely
shut down and left unattended.
Test the autofloat switches 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 fuss block.
• If the fuse is good but the switch
still doesn’t 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.
STEP 2: PUSH SWITCH DOWN
