Bilge Pump Switches
A three-position rocker switch activates the bilge pump. Push the top half of the switch to turn the bilge pump to the manual ON position. Press the switch down to activate the bilge pump for automatic mode while the boat is underway. When the switch is centered, the bilge pump is OFF. The bilge pumps on all V-drive models will be in the automatic mode when the ignition key is turned ON.
On boat models equipped with a ballast system, a three-position switch will allow for the filling or emptying of the ballast tanks and/or bags. It is important to be aware that the engine must operate at 1500 RPM during the fill and empty processes.
Failure to do so can result in malfunction or permanent damage to the ballast pumps that force the water through the system. This is not covered under warranty.
