The electrical pump drain water flows into the drainage collector pipe located abaft the port
hull side, together with the manual bilge pump drains and the engine exhaust antisiphon.
To drain do as follows:
•
Turn on the SHOWER PUMPS switch in the 12 Vdc electrical panel, enabling the
electrical drain pump.
•
As there is only one pump to drain both the shower bilge and the main bilge, you
need to set the three-way valve above the pump to the wished position, before
starting the pump. This valve will be referred to from now on as “Bilge selector”,
whose functioning is showed in the diagram below.
•
We recommend you to always keep the above-mentioned “Bilge selector” in main
bilge draining position and to set it to the shower bilge draining only when
necessary. The “Bilge selector” is located near the pump (see general components
location at page 73 and illustration at page 119).
•
While having a shower or when you finish, turn on the switch under the mirror.
•
Leave the switch on until the water in the bilge is completely drained; then, turn the
switch off.
•
Once finished the operation, remember to turn off the switch in the 12 Vdc electrical
panel too and to set the “Bilge selector” again to the main bilge draining position.
