This page will describe the Bilge pump facilities aboard Efaki. 

For the time being there is a Johnson Bilge Pump wired to an auto bilge switch that is triggered by a Johnson float switch. There is also a Whaler hand pump and a Jabsco Water puppy pump that since it's heavy duty it is used as an emergency pump and activated manually by a switch at the switch panel. 

Here is a sketch for the wiring of the Auto Bilge Switch that I had trouble to find so as to rewire during the 2003 rewiring. This particular one is from the Johnson - Pump auto switch but to best of my knowledge they all work the same way, so here it is to download it.

Photograph of the Auto bilge pump switch. It is located on the left of the sub - switch panel that controls the electronics aboard Efaki.
