Carefully read the instruction and maintenance manual of the bilge pumps supplied with your boat.
The bilge pumps are activated automatically in the event of the water level being too high.
The pumps can be activated manually from the electrical panel.
CAUTION
The bilge pump system is designed to keep the water level in the bilge to a minimum; it is up to the
crew to get the bilge completely dry manually.
WARNING
The bilge pump system is not intended to control ingress of water in the event of a hull breach. It is
designed to eject water originating from spray, leaking seacocks or any other moderate leak.
