**Bilge pump 3-way toggle switch** -
POSITION	ACTION
UP	automatic: starts when a certain level is reached, stops when lower level reached
CENTER	off: pump never runs
DOWN	manual: pump runs whether or not there's water to pump

Notes (above):
- Do not let bilge pump run "dry"; when in DOWN position, turn switch to CENTER or UP when higher-pitch sound from pump indicates all water is pumped out.
- Pump is not fused in Nav Station switch panel; fuse is inline, bundled in Battery 1 wiring.
