B. Bilge Pumps
D. Liner Drains
Bilge pumps are provided in the bottom of the hull to
remove miscellaneous water accumulations that might
occur during normal boating or weather conditions.
The bilge pump is controlled by the bilge pump switch
on the dash panel. See Section H-3 for a detailed
description of the bilge pump switches.
Fiberglass liners with liner drains are standard on the
H310 models. Fiberglass liners can be cleaned easily
by hosing the floor. The water will drain into the bilge
and be pumped overboard by the bilge
pump.
E. Bilge Compartment Drainage
A bilge pump equipped with automatic switch is
standard on most models. As the water level rises, the
automatic float switch will activate the pump.
When leaving the boat unattended for long periods of
time or during excessive rain storms, it is a good idea
to check on the boat for excessive water accumula-
tion. Be sure both the bilge pump and automatic float
switch are operating properly. The operating time of
the bilge pump will be limited to the battery capacity.
Certain bulkhead areas of Four Winns boats are
®
sealed in accordance with U.S. Coast Guard regula-
tions effective at the date of manufacture. Drainage
is provided and water can be removed with the bilge
pump.
NOTICE
While at rest, any bilge water accumulation
may flow forward. Therefore, operate the bilge
pump shortly after getting underway and while
the boat is at a substantial running angle. DO
NOT allow bilge water to accumulate. Damage
to the engine or other components may result.
Periodically, clean the bilge pump strainers. DO NOT
allow dirt and debris to clog the bilge pump intakes.
Check operation of the bilge pump float switch often
to ensure movement of the switch is not restricted by
debris, portions of the hull, etc.
Wipe up any oil accumulation in the bilge prior to
activation of the bilge pump. Pumping oil overboard
will pol lute the water, and is subject to fine.
After winterization of the fresh water systems, be sure
the bilge area, bilge pump and associated hoses are
thoroughly dry. Damage to the hull, bilge pump and
other equipment could occur if water is allowed to
freeze in the bilge.
C. Sump Pump
A sump box is installed in the forward bilge compart-
ment, starboard of the fuel tank. See the H310 locator
drawing at the back of this manual. It is equipped with
an automatic float switch and will pump water from the
shower overboard or into the gray water tank (if avail-
able). Refer to Section J-2C on using the shower and
for additional information on sump pump operation.
