TYPICAL BILGE PUMP/FLOAT SWITCH
Your Regal boat features bilge pumps and fl oat switches
in the sump (bilge) and salon (selected models). They are
operated through the helm switches. There are separate
switches marked forward and aft bilge pumps.
In the “off ” position both switches are connected into
the automatic fl oat switch. In this “auto” position if the
boat takes on water, the bilge pumps will activate and
pump excess water overboard. The switch will light up
when activated.
Periodically check the grates for debris and spray the units
down with water. Make sure a steady stream of water exits
the through hull fi tting indicating the entire output hose
system from the bilge pump itself is debris free.
Monitor your helm bilge pump switch lights periodically
during your cruise. If one of the lights is on that means
that the bilge pump circuit is energied. Stop the vessel and
fi nd the cause of the problem.
