until you feel it snap back in place. Once this is completed you can try to turn the pump
on again.
If the bilge pump still does not turn on, it likely needs to be replaced. It is not
recommended to use your boat if the bilge pump and/or float switch are not functioning
properly.
Systems
280 Ball Valves
Ball valves can be used to serve several purposes. They
allow seawater to enter the boat, in the case of livewells,
and they also act as a safeguard to stop water from
entering. To tell which position a ball valve is in,
open or closed, look at the valve and determine the
direction of flow. When the ball valve handle is in the
same position as the direction of flow, the valve is in
the “OPEN” position. When the ball
valve handle
appears to cross the direction of flow, the valve is in
the “CLOSED” position.
280 Deckdrain System
The
deckdrain system is equipped with 1 1/2” thru hull fittings through the aft port and
starboard hull sides. These fittings have to be installed lower than the drains in the
cockpit floor so that gravity will allow the cockpit to drain free of water. This puts these
fittings very close to the water line of the hull. These drains are rigged with ball valves
that can be opened and closed to control the flow of water. The ball valves can be
accessed through the pie eyes on the port starboard side of the transom. In the open
position, these ball valves will allow water to flow freely from the cockpit, thus making
the boat “self
-
bailing”. When close
d, no water will be allowed to travel to or from the
cockpit. Refer to page 37 for the Deck Drain System diagram.
Note:
Your bilge pump is equipped with an anti-airlock nozzle that
exhausts any air that may cause the pump to air lock. It is normal to
see mist or spray escaping while the pump is running as it is still
functioning properly. (Refer to Hull Wire Harness diagram, page 31).
