Bilge Pump
This boat is equipped with one
bilge pump, located at the low-
est point of the bilge.
The electric bilge pump sup-
plied with your boat is an impel-
ler-type pump. It is controlled
by a switch on the dash panel,
which should be turned on
whenever water begins to accu-
mulate in the bilge.
Check the bilge pump often to
make sure it is working prop-
erly. To check the bilge pump:
• Turn on the dash-mounted
switch and make sure that
water in the bilge is pumped
overboard.
If bilge water is present and the
pump motor is running but not
pumping:
• Inspect the bilge pump hose
for a kink or collapsed area.
If the bilge pump hose is not the problem, check the bilge pump housing for clog-
ging debris:
To remove the power cartridge:
1. Lift the tab while rotating the fins
counter clockwise and lift out the
power cartridge (Fig. 1).
2. Clear the housing of debris.
