4.6. Pumps, seacocks and skin fittings
4.6.1. Pumps
- The bilge pump system is not intended to guarantee the buoyancy of the boat in case of damage.
- Never let the pumps run dry, this could damage them.
- Bilge water should be kept to a minimum.
- Visually check at regular intervals the working condition of each bilge pump.
- Make sure that the suction points or pump strainers are not obstructed by debris.
- If there are watertight bulkheads isolating the fore and aft peaks fitted with cocks, they should be normally
closed and only opened to drain water into the main bilge.
4.6.2. Seacocks and skin fittings
OPENING AND CLOSING OF SEACOCKS :
OPEN
CLOSED
- Maintain seacocks, cockpit draining drains, deck plates and other opening / closing devices in the closed or
open positions, depending on the case, to minimise the risk of flooding.
