How do I turn on the central vac system in a 2000 Sea Ray 400 sedan bridge

Just plug in the hose..... it should start automatically

Just know that there is actually a power switch on the main unit also so if that is off plugging the hose in will not turn it on.

There is a power switch on the side of the canister...

In addition to the good advice you got about the unit switch, the vacuum is plugged into an outlet down stream from the GFCI outlet located in the guest head cabinet. That GFCI outlet is powered by the “port systems” breaker on the power panel. So for the vacuum to turn on all the following has to occur:

1. port systems breaker ON
2. Guest head GFCI not tripped
3. Vacuum unit Power switch ON
4. Switch in outlet(s) not broken

After reading this post I tried mine for the first time this past weekend. Wow, I am impressed, and it reached out to the cockpit. And yes, mine came on by simply pushing the hose in, appears to be a metal ring on the end of it.

It is a cool device and works better than I thought it would, but I also have a Dyson on charge (when power available) which I keep next to the Beem central vac in the same compartment behind the sofa , conveniently plugged into the AC outlet there

That's smart, didn't think about storing my portable there, I have kept it in a cabinet plugged in.

Agree on this. And this little accessory works great too. Friend had one, I tried it then bought my own. Small power head that uses the vac suction to spin.
