Equipment Operation
BILGE/SUMP
Bilge Overview
The bilge often referred to as the sump houses many of
the equipment packages including the engines, batteries,
and the onboard systems.
An introduction to the equipment will be discussed. For
more specific information, refer to the manufacturer’s
manual located in the owner’s pouch. See the mainte-
nance chapter for additional information.
Engine
The engine affords easy access by lifting the hatch. Be-
fore each outing check the bilge for loose fasteners, ex-
haust and fluid leaks, corroded hardware and
perform a
fume sniff test besides running the bilge blower.
Refer to the manufacturer’s owner’s manual for more spe-
cific information located in the owner’s document pouch.
Batteries
Batteries for your vessel feature wet type cells and are
known as Group 31 type in the battery world. All batter-
ies require periodic inspection and maintenance.
The electrolyte and terminals need to be checked for loose-
ness and corrosion. See the maintenance section for ad-
ditional detailed information.
Bilge Pump & Float Switch
The bilge pump and automatic float are located in the
sump. This vessel type uses aft/forward bilge pump sys-
tems. The pump grates should be checked periodically
for debris. If an icon lights up on the bilge pump dash
switch, the automatic side of the bilge pump is activated.
Investigate the cause of the problem immediately since
using the pump(s) continuously could run down the bat-
teries and may be a sign of a more serious situation.
