• 2 manual emergency electric submersible bilge
pumps
The bilge is the lowest interior point of the hull. Any
accumulation of water in the hull will flow to the bilge.
See
“Design Specifications” on page 6
for
pumping capacity. The combined capacity of the system
is not intended to drain the craft in the case of damage.

OTEE:

Wipe up any oil that may have accumulated
in the bilges before operating the bilge
pumps. Pumping oil overboard contributes
to water pollution and is in violation of
the Federal Water Pollution Control Act.
Violators are subject to a substantial
penalty.
Never store items in the bilges. Damage may occur to the
pumps, pipes or other components essential for proper
operation by storing loose items in the bilges.
NOTICE
The water in the bilges must be drained before storing
for the winter if the yacht is kept in a climate with below-
freezing temperatures.
Frozen water in the bilges may cause severe damage
to the yacht and its components. See
for more information on
winterizing the bilges.
NOTICE
BILGE PUMP OPERATION
Each automatic bilge pump can be operated either
automatically or manually. The bilge pumps remove nearly
all the water that collects in the bilges.
The high-water sensors detect high bilge water, and an
alarm will sound if detected. The most likely causes of
high bilge water are:
• A hull breach
• Faulty bilge pump
• Faulty seacock/hose
OTEE:
N
The HIGH WATER ALARM switch and HIGH
WATER ALARM circuit breaker, located on
the DC control center, must be ON at all
times. The alarm will sound if high water is
detected in the bilge. Periodically test each
switch to ensure that the switch and pump
are in proper working condition. Test by
depressing small lever on back of switch
housing.
