We are currently in Marathon, FL - which leaves us square in the path of the oncoming Irma.
We are working now to prep our 4788 to leave behind at a marina dock while we evacuate to the mainland - and I am trying to figure out how to maximize the potential bilge pump running time.
Looking at the (poor quality) schematic I found online, it looks as if the 4788 automatic bilge pumps are wired directly to the engine starting battery. Is this correct? Which one - Port or Starboard?
Is there an easy way to let the bilge pumps tap into the house battery as well?
Any other tips for securing a 4788 for a major hurricane hit?
Thanks,
- Chris
