5.6 Preventing water getting on board and stability
5.6.1 Hull and deck openings
The location of deck openings and their respective plugs are shown in Diagram 2.
The Buster L has an outlet for draining rain water from the cockpit. This outlet is
meant to be plugged if you observe water flowing back into the cockpit through the
drain outlets when the boat is loaded. In other situations, the drain outlets should be
kept open and regularly cleared to prevent them from getting blocked with debris.
The boat has a drain plug in the aft section screwed to the lower corner of the
transom, through which the boat can be drained when docked or loaded on a trailer.

pump; 2) Cockpit drain plug for draining rainwater.
5.6.2 Bilge pumps and drainage
The Buster L is equipped with an electrically-operated, automatic bilge pump, the
location of which is shown in Diagram 2. It discharges water that has collected in the
bilge whenever the surface sensor detects its presence. The draining capacity of the
electrical bilge pump is approx. 38 l/min. The automatic pump is in a constant state of
readiness independent of the position of the main power switch, provided that the
accumulator is connected. The bilge pump is activated when the sensor is fully
submerged for five seconds and is deactivated when the sensor is dry. The pump
can also be force-fed by activating the springloaded switch on the switch panel.
