An additional automatic switch, located in the aft 

bilge, will sound an alarm if the bilge water level 

rises above the normal operating range of the 

bilge pump automatic switches. The alarm elec-

tronic switch is connected to the batteries.  It is 

protected by a fuse in the accessory fuse panel 

in the aft systems compartment.   It remains ac-

tivated when the battery switches are in the OFF 

position and the batteries are connected.  This 

switch should be tested periodically to ensure it 

is operating properly.  If the alarm does not acti-

vate, you should find and correct the problem as 

soon as possible.
