Section 6 Maintenance
Bilge Pump s
The bilge pumps and water level sensors are sealed units
and do not require any periodic maintenance. Check the
bilge regularly to make sure there is no debris or sludge
that could foul the water level sensors or clog the pumps.
Test your bilge pumps and water level sensors
b efore each mission. Clear away any deb ris
that might restrict p ump or water level sensor
op eration.
Periodically check the condition of the pumps by turning
the pumps on manually. You should see water pump
out the through hull fittings if there is water in the bilge,
or you will hear the pump motor running if no water is
present.
Access to the Pump s
The aft pump and high water pump can be accessed
through the equipment hatch in the aft cockpit deck. The
forward pump can be accessed through a hatch under
the cushion on the cabin berth.
