Autofloat Switches
• Automatic bilge pumps use electromagnetic float (autofloat) switches to turn On the pump whenever water rises
above a preset level in the bilge.
• One 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. Push float switch test button
up to turn On bilge pump.
• If the pump does not turn
On, check the inline fuse.
• If the fuse is good but the
switch does not work, it may
indicate a bad switch or pos-
sibly a low battery.
2. Push test button all the way
down to return the float
switch to auto mode.
