X5 Bilge Auto Setting ?
Hi Folks ,I have just bought a X5 ( 2003 ) and am having difficulty with the Bilge pump switch It goes on manual and it pumps out but as the decals have worn off I do not know what the other setting positions are
One is obviously off ( bottom or centre? ) The other is auto?? ( bottom or centre? ) However even with plenty of water in the Bilge neither of the other positions seems to pump out, so I am wondering if it has an auto (and a switch float ) . Wnen I look at the bilge pump I cannot see a big flipper float like I had on my old nautique, so is it switched differently or even have one ? I am getting some water part way up the bottom of the sump when left for a week at the mooring and if i can leave it on auto it will stop it getting too high Thanks Boyd |

The auto setting should be on the far end of the manual setting. So it should be manual/off/auto.
You need to get in and look at the pump. Some pumps have the auto float built into the pumps while others have a separate float. Either way the float is not working. The separate float pump system normally looks like this. ![]() While the contained ones look like this. ![]()
