Stephenm27 when I raise the float on my high water sump a alarm sounds and the sump kicks on
Does anyone know if the emergency bilge pump running results in an audible alarm of any sort? If I manually activate it using the float switch I do not hear any nor does the indicator light on the helm panel come on (as it does with the main bilge pump).
I'm basically trying to determine if I need to fix something that should be working (or add something that I think should really be there)...
Let's be sure we are talking about the same pump...
Let's be sure we are talking about the same pump... the one that sets off my audible alarm is only accessible from the shower sump box location. It sits behind the sump box towards the aft of the boat.
I have two pumps in the bilge... one located lower than the other. The higher mounted one does not set off the audible alarm.
I was specifically referring the emergency (hi water) bilge pump the engine room. No audible alert for this pump is heard when the high water float is activated (and the pump comes on). You don't have an audible alarm on this either? Maybe it's just me, but omitting an alarm on the engine room high water indicator is a significant safety "shortcoming" (and out of character with my experience w/ Sea Ray product).
I have not checked whether my forward bilge (shower sump compartment) float switch activates an audible alarm. I will verify this next...
Let me make a correction here... I posted that the high mounted float did not set off an audible... but I'm not sure about that now. Looking at the schematic, there should be two audible alarms... one for the sump box location and one for the higher bilge/float switch.
JimG--can you provide a page # for the schematic you're using/referring to? I skimmed the electronic copy of the schematics I have but didn't see anything this morning. I probably overlooked it, however...thanks!
PDF page 102 of 176, DC Wiring Diagram (6 of 8) Figure 6.20.1
I'll post an update once resolved in the event someone else experiences similar.
Thanks JimG for finding it on the schematic!
You might try checking the screen in the seacock. With mine, it became clogged preventing cooling water to flow through it. It kept stalling for under current and low voltage.
We're considering the 310. We currently have a 240 Sundeck. We have two teens. I'd like to find out if there's a big difference between the 310 and the 330 outside of the the few extra feet
