If the gauges were provided by the engine manufacturer (i.e., Mercury,

Back/Aft position – Anchor light is on; the bow lights and gauge lights are off.
3 Bilge Pump - Your boat is equipped with an automatic bilge pump and float switch. This 1100 gph pump is
located in the bilge and is mounted as far aft as possible. The bilge pump and float switch are accessible
via the hatch that is installed in the center of the motor well.
The bilge pump is wired automatic to the battery and has a manual override located at the switch panel on
the console. The automatic float switch is wired directly to the
Starboard
battery terminals through
breakers or inline fuses. The circuit breaker is located at the helm next to the manual switch. Depressing
the bilge pump switch to the up or forward position activates the bilge pump.
4 Baitwell Pump - The baitwell pump is located in the bilge area and is plumbed to a seacock (ball valve).
This pump is also used for the raw water washdown. See the Sea Water section of this manual for
instructions on using the raw water washdown fitting.
For the pump to operate properly you need to make sure the seacock is in the open position. The seacock
is wide open when the yellow seacock lever is vertical. When the yellow seacock lever is horizontal, the
seacock is closed.
The underside of the seacock thru-hull is equipped with a scoop to allow the water to be picked up even
when the boat is on plane. When the boat is not in the water or the baitwell pump is not going to be used
for an extended period of time, the seacock valve should be in the closed position. To activate the pump,
depress the switch to the up or forward position. To turn the pump off after the baitwell tub is full, depress
switch to the down or aft position.
5 Fresh Water (Optional) – The fresh water switch provides power to the fresh water pump. Depress the
fresh water switch to the forward position to activate the fresh water pump. The fresh water faucet/nozzle
is installed behind a white cap located just out side the transom door. Press the button/lever on the handle
to activate the faucet/nozzle. If the fresh water system is not going to be in use, stow away the hose and
move the switch to the aft or down position to turn the pump off.
If the fresh water system was not installed, you may elect to use this switch as an accessory switch.
Please check the amp rating of any new component and/or additional accessory before installation.
6 Cockpit Lights (Optional) – Your vessel may be equipped with cockpit/ courtesy lights. The lights have LED
(light emitting diode) bulbs with a lifespan of approximately 10,000 hours. To activate the lights, depress
the switch to the up or forward position. The lights give off a soft warm light which should not affect your
night vision, but will still provide you with enough light to safely move around your cockpit in low visibility
conditions.
7 Baitwell Light - To activate the baitwell light, depress the switch to the up or forward position. This will
activate the LED (light emitting diode) light inside your baitwell tub. It is a soft white light that will keep your
bait moving and lively. It will also help you locate your bait on those early morning or late night fishing trips.
To turn the light off, simply depress the switch to the down or aft position.
8 Fish Box Pump - This switch directs power to the fish box macerator pump, which allows you to drain the
water and debris from the aft fish boxes. The macerator pump allows you to pump all the water, ice and
scales out of the aft fish boxes by grinding up the debris and discharging it overboard.
