2.4.1 Description of the pumping arrangement
The yacht is equipped with both a manual pump and an electric bilge pump. The main line bilge suction
has a capacity of 75 l/min.
A draw bucket is an ideal means for bailing out water . It should always be ready in a
cockpit seat locker.
Attention
Close all sea valves if you leave your yacht for a longer period. Valves being not
clearly visible, like e.g. in the toilet room, should only be opened before use and
closed short after.
Warning
In a serious situation, e.g. in case of a heavy inrush of water as a consequence of a
collision, the pumping capacity might not be sufficient. Take measures for damage
control with collision mats or other suitable means.
Components of the bilge pumping installation:
see pic 2.1.1.
2.5 The electric installation
2.5.1 The AC-installation
The yacht has got a shore connection (option) by which it can be supplied with electric power from
ashore when being berthed in a port. The plug box ( meeting the CEE-norm) is installed at the transom of
the yacht. The power is supplied into a shore connection unit, placed under the chart table.
The plug box is operational as soon as the shore supply cable has been plugged in. It only serves the ope-
ration of electric machines.
2.5.2 The DC–board net
All electric devices aboard are supplied with the 12 V DC. A main-switch is installed in the electric panel
at the chart table. Power distribution is effected by a switchboard above the chart table.The lettering next
to each switch refers to the corresponding consumer.
You can find all the switches for the 12 V consumers at the switchboard. By this you can operate different
consumer-groups ,being marked with logos or lettering, separately. Some of the switches are designed for
an installation of additional electric devices. There are only automatic fuses used. So you only have to
press them in case of a breakdown. If a fuse blows repeatedly you should spot the cause or consult a
specialist (electrician).
Note
In case of spherical valves a transverse lever-direction indicates:
CLOSED
and a longitudinal ones means : OPEN
Maintenance note
The tightness of ducts should be inspected regularly.
Retighten all hose clips and the stuffing boxes of valves
