Bilge Pumps

Jabsco Model 34600-Series Electric Bilge Pump

Electrical

12-volt

The best measure of the status of the house battery is to use the switch above the galley sink and toggle it to the right when the engine is stopped (i.e., not charging) and the battery switch is set to "House". There is a voltmeter near the switch that should indicate at about the red/green line. When the engine is running, the indicated voltage should ba approximately 14V. Note that the switch sometimes has a poor contact and needs to be jiggled a little to have it work. Note that the ammeter in the engine instrument cluster in the cockpit is not working.

Electronics

TEMPORARY NOTE (02Sep11): The block tabulation of electronics documentation below will probably finally reside in the [Documents] section of this wiki.

The list is here primarily because some Electronic Wiz found many web hits on current manuals, and then a paperwork slog related onboard documents to the devices too.
