USERS MANUAL FOR THE “LATERISER”
Welcome aboard the “LATERISER”. The “LATERISER” is a 1994 43-foot Bayliner
model 4388 that was named for the laid-back and relaxing owners that she has had. She
was manufactured in Arlington, Washington and is 43 feet long and has a beam of 14’3”.
LATERISER’s Home Port is Anchorage, Alaska and she was moored for three years in
Seward, Alaska before moving down to Washington in 1997. She is now moored in
Anacortes, Washington.
We have put together this manual for you to become familiar with the “LATERISER”.
Please take a few moments to read through this and please ask any charter company staff
any questions that may come up and we have not covered. Also, please be sure to have
the staff pass on to us any additional information or items that we should add to our
manual.
We hope that you and your crew have a wonderful, safe and enjoyable cruise.

2. PRE-START CHECK
Before starting engines for departure, complete a pre-start inspection. The “Check-in” inspections
should identify any obvious items of concern, but the charter skipper must take full responsibility for
checking out the equipment on a regular basis throughout the cruise. Prior to starting the engines each
time the skipper must check crankcase oil, coolant levels, sea-water strainer, steering hydraulic fluid and
perform a general sight inspection to the engine compartment equipment and bilge (Be sure to look for
any signs of excessive belt wear, leaks, loose fittings, etc.). Make certain that the two seacock valves
supplying seawater to the engines are open (in a vertical position). Also make sure that all items stowed
away in lockers or compartments are properly secured.
Please note, that a slow dripping leak around the drive shaft log where its exits the hull is part of the
normal lubricating process of the shaft.
If there are any questions regarding these procedures, PLEASE be sure to ask for further instructions
from the checkout staff person from Anacortes Yacht Charters. There are never any dumb questions.
Also, be sure to check to make sure the front hatch skylights and side portholes are closed
before cruising. You don’t want to have a wet, cold bed after a long day of cruising.
There are 8 fenders.
THE LIFEJACKETS ARE FOUND IN THE STORAGE AREA UNDER THE MAIN
SALON COUCH SEATS.

3. STARTING ENGINES AND CRUISING
NOTE: It is not necessary to pre-heat the engines unless the outside temperature is
approximately 30 degrees Fahrenheit or colder.
Start one engine at a time (recommend the Port engine first). Turn the ignition key fully
clockwise until the engine starts and release the key. If the engine does not start after two to
three seconds, release the key, wait ten to fifteen seconds, and then try again. The engine oil
pressure/temperature alarm will sound during the start up until the engine starts and the oil
pressure reaches normal operating range. If the alarm persists, check the oil pressure gauge
reading and shut the engine off. If the alarms sound at any time during operation, check the
gauges to determine what the problem is (oil pressure or engine temperature), and shut that
engine off.
After the engines have been started, check the oil pressure gauges, voltmeters, and fuel
gauges. Check all gauges frequently while cruising. Do not allow the fuel tank to go below
one-third full to prevent air from enter the fuel lines on a heavy roll during high sea
conditions.
Check the engine exhausts to be sure that exhaust water is flowing from the exhaust outlets.
Let the engines warm at idle for at least 5 minutes prior to shoving off or raising anchor.
Whenever you are shifting the transmission lever (the black handle) be certain that the
throttle is in the FULL IDLE position. Hesitate momentarily at neutral position when
shifting forward to reverse and visa versa. We request that, for normal cruising, the engines
be operated around 2300 rpm. At this engine speed you will be traveling approximately 14
knots, while still realizing good fuel efficiency. In case of an emergency, when travel is of
extreme importance, the engine may be run at higher rpm’s for a short period of time.
Any switches that are turned on while at the upper helm cannot be turned off at the lower
helm, such as blowers or anchor lights. After you are through cruising, double check to see
that every unwanted accessory is off. This will avoid a low battery.
GAUGES
It is important that you monitor the gauges regularly. The oil pressure should be between 60-
75 PSI. The starboard engine will always run a little hotter than the port because of the
different accessory items that each engine runs. The starboard engine cruises at 185 degrees,
and the port at 170 degrees.
You will hear two alarms when starting each engine. These are the low oil pressure alarms.
If these alarms go off while underway or making maneuvers, immediately check all gauges

8
and shut down the engine as soon as it is safe to do so. If the engine temperature exceeds
200 degrees, this means that the engine is not getting enough water to keep it cool. Refer to
“Engines” in this manual on how to trouble shoot.
The fuel gauges are located at the main helm only, and are very accurate. At the upper helm
you will find two other gauges not found at the lower helm. You will find an hour meter, this
shows you how much time is being put on the boat for maintenance purposes.
TRIM TABS
The best technique for the initial use of the trim tabs is to first remove all trim by pushing the
trim switch “bow up”. After obtaining a desirable RPM and speed, gradually press, “bow
down” in ½ second intervals until desired boat deck angle is obtained (about3-4 degree bow
up).
If you trim slightly “bow down” in light chop, your ride will be a lot smoother, however,
spray from the bow wave will make the boat wetter. If you trim”bow up” or “no trim” in
heavy chop, following seas or rough seas, the boat will be safer, and broaching potential is
decreased. The boat will be a lot drier when running in windy conditions, if you remove all
trim, and run bow up. In smooth water, your ride will be great, and fuel consumption will be
minimal (about 14GPH), if you trim for max speed @ 2300 RPM’s.
Do not run the engines above 2500 RPM for extended periods. Above 2500 RPM, very little
speed is gained; fuel consumption goes up dramatically; overheating can occur, because the
engines are laboring; and it can damage the transmission drive gears. At 2300 RPM you will
be cruising at a safe, calm and fuel-efficient speed. The “most efficient” RPM for the Hino
diesel is 2200 RPM. This RPM will give you the longest range (about 250 nautical miles).
THROTTLES AND SHIFT LEVERS
Gentle positive movement of the throttles and shift levers is required to prevent unusual wear
or damage to the mechanisms. NEVER SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION UNLESS THE
ENGINES ARE IN IDLE. (ABOUT 600-1000 rpm). ALWAYS PAUSE FOR A MOMENT
IN NEUTRAL POSITION BEFORE SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO FORWARD.
SPOTLIGHT
There is a remote control spotlight at the bow of the boat that is controlled from the bridge.
The spotlight is on a turntable. Keep the cover on the spotlight when not in use. Remember
to remove the cover prior to use to prevent burning or scorching the cover.
There is a hand held rechargeable spotlight located above the pilot seat. Never use this while
it is being recharged.

9
ANCHOR LIGHT
The light must be used at night when anchored or tied to a mooring buoy. The switch is
located at both helms.
BELL
The bell is located on the wall to the port side of the sliding entry door.
LIFE RING
The life ring is stored above the batteries. DO NOT USE THE LIFE RING AS A
RECREATIONAL TOY. It is there for emergencies only.
ENGINE ROOM
Do not store propane and or fuel in the engine room or in the cockpit lockers. Excess fumes
may create a fire or an explosion.
TOOL BOX
The tools are for your use so you can make emergency repairs. The tools might be a survival
necessity for the next “LATERISER” user. Please replace tools when through using them.
Please spray a small amount of spray lubricant on any tools that get wet. These tools have
been inventoried and if found missing, any replacement fee will be charged to your account.
SPARE PARTS
You will find large tubs in the engine room or by the generator, with miscellaneous spare
parts such as: oil filters, water pump impellers, a head pump repair kit, and cleaning supply
tools. Please familiarize yourself with all of the parts. They may be helpful to you in case
you need to repair anything.
MEDICAL –FIRST AID KIT
This is located in the cabinet in the master head.
FLARE KIT
This is located to the starboard side of the sliding door.
FLASHLIGHT & BATTERIES
Located in the cabinet beside the electrical distribution panel.

10
IMPORTANT!!!!!!!! In the Pacific Northwest waters, drifting debris (deadheads) is
extremely common and much of the debris is large enough to do major damage to moving
boats. Always use extreme caution while underway and be constantly alert for drifting debris
and rocks just below the water’s surface. For this reason and because accidents are much
more likely to occur during times of low visibility, do not travel after dusk, before dawn, or
in the fog!
ALSO, NEVER OPERATE THIS VESSEL WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
ALCOHOL OR DRUGS.
To stop the engines, press the engine kill buttons located above the ignition key until the
engine has stopped then turn off the key.

11
4. PUTTING ON FUEL AND WATER
Fueling:
Fuel the boat BEFORE the tanks reach one-third full whenever possible. The diesel
fuel fill ports are located on each side of the boat just forward of the deck.
Make certain that you have properly identified the diesel fill cap prior to opening it for
fuel. NOTE that there is also a waste tank cap and
NEVER fill the water tank and the fuel tanks at the same time and DO NOT remove any cap
until you are ready to fill that tank. Take all precautions necessary to avoid allowing any
water to enter the fuel tank!
NOTE: Always fill the fuel tanks only with clean, #2 Diesel Fuel oil.
To avoid spills and/or overfilling of the fuel tanks, always be attentive to the fueling
procedure. Listen carefully to the sound of the fuel entering the tank. There will be a
noticeable change in the pitch of the sound as the tank is nearing full. Fill the remainder of
the tank cautiously. A drop or two of fuel out of the overflow vent should be all that is
allowed. Always have an absorbent pad handy while fueling to immediately clean up any
inadvertent overflow. Clean any residual fuel off the deck and side of the hull (from
overflow vent) with soap and water (BE SURE FUEL CAP HAS BEEN SECURELY
REPLACED.)
POTABLE WATER SUPPLY:
The water tank holds 100 gallons, with the fill being located on the starboard side. This is
enough for several days of use if used very sparingly. It is advised that you fill the tank
every day that water is available. On days that water is not available, monitor the water tank
level on the gauge, located in the electrical panel. Press the rocker switch to activate the
monitor. Always be cautious of conserving your fresh water. Fresh water is often the item in
shortest supply.

5. ELECTRONICS
This will be a brief overview of the proper use of the several pieces of electronic equipment
on board the “LATERISER”. For further instructions on the use of a particular piece of
equipment, the operating instructions are located in the binders, on the starboard side of the
boat beside the pilot seat or behind it.
A) VHF RADIOS: There are two fixed VHF radios on board. One radio is located in the
flying bridge under the helm. The second radio is located in the main cabin above the pilots
seat. Please refer to the manufacture’s brochures and the Marine Communications brochure
for use of marine VHF radios. The charter company monitors Channel 16 and will ask you
to switch to Channel 68 as their working channel.
B) DEPTH SOUNDERS: There are two depth sounders on board, one at each station. The
rocker switch located on the flying bridge instrument panel activates the digital depth
sounder on the flying bridge. A color video fish finder/depth sounder is located at the lower
station. Please refer to the individual equipment manual for full instructions. Remember
that the “LATERISER” draws approximately 4 feet of water and that the depth sounds are
not always precisely accurate. Piloting should always be done with an accurate chart, not the
depth sounder alone.
ALWAYS be extremely conservative when judging the relationship of the boat to the
bottom. Any encounter with the bottom can be extremely costly---if not life threatening!!
C) GPS/CHART PLOTTER: The chip in the unit has the data from Olympia to the north
end of Vancouver Island. See note below.
RADAR: There is an Apelco Radar, which is available to assist you in navigating the boat.
Please refer to the individual equipment manual for full instructions. We advise operating
the radar while cruising in fair weather it will allow you to see and understand the source of
your surroundings before the fog or foul weather sets in.
PLEASE NOTE: These electronic navigation aids are only supplements to the
skipper’s careful preparation through thoughtful study of the navigational charts and
tide tables provided on board.

13
6. ANCHORING
The LATERISER is provided with a main and spare anchor and rode (anchor line). The
main anchor has 30 feet of chain and 500 feet of line. The spare anchor has 20 feet of chain
and 150 feet of line stored in the anchor locker at the bow of the boat.
The main anchor is in place on the bow and the bitter end is tied off to an eyebolt in the chain
locker below the windlass. In order to operate the windlass, the windlass switch located on
the electrical panel in the main cabin must be turned in “ON” position. Prior to anchoring the
windlass cover must be removed and the fore deck cleared. Keep fingers and shoelaces clear
of the windlass and chain during operation! The windlass is operated from the deck switches
located beside the windlass. One is the “UP” switch and the other is the “DOWN” switch.
When the boat has been maneuvered into the desired position (be mindful of wind, tide
changes and the swing of adjacent boat at anchor) and brought to a standstill, the skipper
should signal the windlass operator to commence lowering the anchor. Care must be taken to
assure that the rode is feeding properly at all times. Take additional care when setting and
retrieving the anchor that the rode feeds through the sleeve in the deck.
NOTE: The anchor works to its optimum holding capacity when there is adequate scope on
the anchor rode. A ratio 7:1 rode to water depth is considered optimum.
On the other hand it is sometimes disadvantageous to have that much line out in a tight
anchorage. In these situations it is possible to set the anchor with the 7:1 scope and then
retrieve line until you have approximately a 4:1 scope. Another method is to utilize a shorter
scope and tie to shore with a stern line. Be careful that you remain far enough off shore to
account for low tide change.
When lowering the anchor the skipper should slowly reverse the boat while chain is fed out
until the anchor has a good bite and that it prevents the boat from moving in reverse. When
there is adequate rode for a proper scope, the anchor is set and the line is secured, then the
engine can be shut off.
Prior to weighing, both engines should be restarted (following the typical pre-check) and
allowed to warm up for 5 minutes. Turn on the windlass power switch to the “ON” position
and have the operator assume his/her position. The skipper, in communication with the
windlass operator, must position the boat over the anchor while the windlass operator is
retrieving the slackening line.

14
NEVER USE THE WINDLASS TO PULL THE BOAT TO THE ANCHOR
When the bow is directly over the anchor, the windlass operator can retrieve the anchor while
being careful that the rode is feeding properly over the bow roller, through the windlass
gypsy, and through the deck sleeve. Be careful to prevent the anchor from swinging against
the hull. Clean all bottom debris from the anchor before retrieving completely. Snub off the
anchor to avoid excessive movement while cruising and turn off the windlass power switch
when the procedure is complete.
NOTE: BE SURE TO CHECK CHARTS, DEPTH SOUNDER, AND TIDE TABLE FOR
ADEQUATE WATER AT ANCHORAGE DURING LOW TIDE
CAUTION: The windlass operator is responsible for turning on windlass prior to anchoring
or weighing and turning off after. Incidental activation of windlass can result in serious
injury.

15
7. ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
There are two separate electrical systems on board: 12 Volt DC and 120 AC. Both electrical
panels are located on the starboard side of the salon.
A. DC SYSTEM (12 VOLT BATTERY)
This system powers most lights, and all pumps, electronics, anchor winch, engine starters and
the refrigerator/freezer.
1. To charge all batteries you must activate the “Battery Charger” switch on the
AC panel, when connected to shore power or charging off the generator.
Batteries should be recharged daily. Either (a) run the engines for at least 3-4
hours; or (b) charge using shore power overnight; (c) run the generator for at
least 3-4 hours.
2. The main battery selector switches are located in the engine room. These
consist of separate switches for the engines, house and generator batteries.
There is also a cross over switch that in the event of low engine battery allows
the engine and house battery to be tied together. The cross over switch should
always be in the OFF position when not needed.
B. AC SYSTEMS (120 VOLTS)
There are two sources for AC power for this boat: (1) Shore power and (2) generator. Only
one of these sources can be used at one time.
1. SHORE POWER: Dock shore power facilities come in three forms: 50AMP
service, 30 AMP service, and 20 AMP service. Most U.S. Marinas and docks
have 50 or 30 AMP service. Many, but not all, Canadian marinas and docks
have 20 AMP service. The “LATERISER” has 2 power cords for 30 amp
service (they may be connected end to end). There is a conversion cord for
connecting to a 20 AMP plug. When plugging into shore power you only
need to use the plug marked #1. This will energize all of the AC circuits.
With 30 AMP service, you will need to pick what power requirements you
want to use. With 20 AMP service, you will have to be careful what onboard
circuits you have on.
2. Required connection sequence of shore power cord from the boat to the dock.
Turn the dockside master breaker off. Connect the female end of the shore

16
power cord to the line #1 electrical fitting located on the exterior starboard
side of the boat. Connect the other end of the cord to the electrical power
outlet on the dock; an adapter may be necessary for this connection.
When connecting to the shore outlet, be sure the shore outlet breaker is in the “OFF”
position. After completing hook-up, turn on the shore breaker. The line one green polarity
indicator will be on, indicating that the shore power is properly connected.
In the unlikely event that the red polarity hazard warning light comes on, DO NOT flip the
dock side, master breaker to the “ON” position disconnect the shore end of the cord from the
boat. Reverse procedure when reconnecting to shore power. Tell the marina management
that there is an apparent polarity problem. DO NOT TRY TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM
YOURSELF.
NOTE: Marina’s electrical systems are notoriously underpowered. Breakers on the
electrical panel may trip to “off”, or the breaker on the dock may trip off it too much power is
being used. Return breaker switch to the “on” position to restore power. To compensate for
this problem reduce the amount of power being consumed on the boat. Some
experimentation may be necessary, but typically turning off the hot water heater when using
the heat and microwave will be sufficient.
INVERTER:
There is a 1750 watt inverter located in the engine compartment. A remote on/off switch is
located in the electrical panel. The inverter must be turned on at the unit for the remote
switch to work. There are four outlets which are wired to the inverter (starboard salon,
galley, master bath and stateroom) plus the outlet on the unit. They are white with the blue
dots. The microware can be powered by the inverter but the engines should be running if it is
used for more than a minute because it uses so much power. The inverter, when it is on,
causes interference with the AM radio signal. See the operation manual for items like
rechargeable flashlight which should not be plugged into the inverter.
GENERATOR: The generator will supply ample 110-volt power when the boat is
underway, at anchor, or where shore power is not available dockside. See the generator
manual for full operating instructions. The generator is located under the rear hatch floor
door. It is important that you check the oil prior to starting. The generator is the thing that
you don’t want to lose, especially when you are out in a secluded area away from other
power and other vessels.
“LATERISER” is equipped with a Westerbeke 8 KW/ 60 cycle generator. The generator is
of little use if you are hooked up to dock power or do not anchor a lot. If you do anchor you
may find that your batteries will need to be re-charged. This is done with the generator. If
you decide to use different electrical items when at anchor, the generator will be needed.

17
Keep in mind that a Hair Dryer uses 1500 Watts, a Hot Water Heater uses 1500 Watts, the
microwave uses 1000 Watts.
Brief instructions to start the Generator: Go to the main electrical panel. To the right there is
a switch marked “shore”, “off”, “Ship”. Hold the pre-heat switch down while starting the
generator (the starter motor won’t work if not held down for approximately 15 seconds
before turning the start switch on.) Keep the start switch turned until the generator oil
pressure rises to at least 24 and the generator motor comes on. This will take approximately
5 seconds after the generator starts. If the generator does not start within 30 seconds, wait
3minutes and then repeat the sequence. You need to turn the selector switch to ship power
and the meter should show that there is 110V.
Failure to allow running time for the generator engine cooling can result in engine damage.
Run the generator with no load on it for 3 minutes before stopping. Move the rotary switch
to the “off” “position between” shore and “ship”, and allow the generator to run “no load” for
3 minutes. After cooling, move the starter switch to “stop”.
TYING UP TO A BUOY
Tie the mooring line tight and secure to the buoy so that the rope will not chafe or saw off
due to the rough nature of most buoy rings.
When at anchor or tied up to a buoy, the Coast Guard rules require you to display the anchor
light at night. The switch is located at either helm. Spare anchor light bulbs are in the spare
parts box. The light is 12V, and the ships batteries will easily power it over night.
BATTERY CHARGE WHEN ON SHORE POWER OR OPERATING THE
GENERATOR:
1. Turn on master breaker line one.
2. Turn on battery charger, breaker on AC panel.
STEREO-MAIN SALON
Make sure you turn off the stereo after use. This could run down your accessory batteries if
left on long enough. Operations manual is located in cabinet.
STEREO –UPPER HELM
There is a radio located in the compartment under the wheel.

18
8. GALLEY
A. RANGE
The “LATERISER” is equipped with a 3 burner propane range with oven. The switch to
operate the propane regulator located beside the sink. Push the on/off button to activate the
propane system. It should be turned off when not in use. This unit also has an automatic
shut off with a propane sensor located below the oven. Read the “Fireboy” manual for more
detailed operating instruction. Remember that propane is heavier then air so it will seek the
lowest point possible if there is a leak.
B. WATER SYSTEM
Domestic Water:
THE “LATERISER” carries 100 gallons of fresh water and is equipped with water level
indicator on the starboard side of the main cabin panel box. Because the indicator is not
100% accurate, the water tank should be topped off frequently to avoid the possibility of
running short of potable water. The water fill cap is located on the outside starboard side of
the boat next to the pilots’ chair. Be sure that you locate the fresh water, labeled as such, and
not the pump out cap.
A standby domestic water pump has been installed beside the main water pump located in the
small area accessed thru the door beside the mid berth. To change to the standby pump, first
turn off the water pump power in the electrical panel. Disconnect the red wire from the bad
pump and attach the red wire from the other pump to the brown wire where the original wire
was attached. Loosen the white nut on the clear water filter and undo the filter from the
pump. Attach the filter to the good pump. Tighten the white nut. Loosen the nut at the elbow
on the other side of the pump and disconnect the short gray tubing from the elbow. Push the
brass fitting at the end of the clear tubing into the gray tubing and attach with the hose clamp
that is with the clear tubing. Turn the power back on and check for leaks. Be sure to notify
the charter company about switching the pumps.
Salt Water Wash Down:
On the starboard side of the console is a small door. Inside is a water faucet. The pump
switch is located beside the ladder labeled “shower” (must be a Bayliner joke). Be sure to
turn the switch off when not in use.
Swim Platform Shower:
This is a fresh water faucet so be careful about how much water you use.
C. REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER
The refrigerator uses a lot of power, so be sure that your batteries are recharged daily. It is
important not to leave the door open for any period of time. The temperature control for both
units is located in the port refrigerator. Normal operation setting is 1/3. At night it can be
turned down to 1 to save energy.

19
D. MICROWAVE
This microwave operates like your standard microwave at home. Use normal precautions
about foil and containers. Before operating the microwave, make sure the breaker switch on
the AC master panel is ON. Instructions are located in the operation manual.
E. SALON BED
To turn the dinette table into a queen size bed, push the tabletop down to the bench level.
There is a 4” pad that sits on top of the tabletop to complete the mattress. Under the salon
seats you will find a storage area where the Life Jackets are stored.
UNDER BED DRAWERS
There is amble drawer space under the two cabins beds and are available for your use. They
should be empty upon your arrival.
9. HEAD, SHOWERS, BILGE PUMPS :
Both heads have under sink and cabinet storage. This storage is available for your use. The
holding tank has an 80-gallon capacity. Both heads are manual flush type, and are connected
to a “Y” valve to direct discharge to the holding tank. This “Y” valve is located in the
storage area accessed through the side door by the bed in the mid stateroom. The “Y” should
always be set to discharge to the holding tank.
Plugged heads can make your cruise extremely uncomfortable. A marine head is a
complicated mechanism. If you toss even the smallest thing into it, from a paper matchstick
to a hank of hair, it will probably choke. So alert ALL Crewmembers to the simple
precautions.
REMEMBER! THERE ARE NO PLUMBERS AT SEA!!
Use only marine toilet paper, which is biodegradable. Use a minimum amount of tissue and
pump sufficiently so that all material is fully pumped through. The toilets use salt water so
don’t skimp on the water, there’s lot of it out there.
Deodorizers and waste treatment products are provided on board in the head cabinets. Please
follow the instructions on the labels for desired results. After pumping out the holding tank,
put deodorizer into toilet and flush it into the tank.
DO NOT put foreign materials into the toilets. Tampon type materials that swell when wet
are the worst offenders. Makeup tissue, paper towels, cotton balls, hair and even a
matchstick, can also clog the discharge value.

20
FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS DISCHARGING OF ANY REFUSE MATTER INTO
THE WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES WITHIN A DISTANCE OF THREE
MILES FROM THE COASTLINE.
There is a holding tank “FULL” alert light located beside the fresh water gauge panel. When
the light comes on, you are five to six flushes from the tank overflow. You have two
options to empty the holding tank.
A. Holding tank pump out stations for removal of waste are located at selected harbors
and state parks. Check with the charter company for availability of waste removal
facilities. The waste removal port for pumping the holding tank at stations is located
on the starboard side of the boat, and is labeled WASTE. While the holding tank
capacity is 80 gallons. It fills rather quickly. The water used to pump waste from the

tank, and the third by the generator. Each bilge pump is equipped with a float switch that

bilge pumps should be checked frequently. There are also 2 manually activated bilge pumps
which are switched from the lower helm. If bilge water is present and the pump motor is
running, check to see if the pump is clogged with debris.
