when you hear the high water alarm (Fig. 10.3), it means
that high water exists in the bilges and it is time to take
action. Refer to the “Chapman’s Piloting, Seamanship
and Boat Handling.” We have supplied you with a copy
of this book aboard your new boat, but if you do not have
one, it is a wise idea to purchase this boating manual. It
is full of useful safety and navigational information.

Check your Mechanical Arrangement illustration in the
Boating Safety Section for the location, and the Waste
/ Sanitation illustration at the end of this section, for the
discharge hose routing for this or any pump.
10.2.3 The main Bilge Pump
This pump is located in the lowest parts of the bilge.
The function of this pump is to clear the water before it
reaches the high water level.

bilge compartment
Careful maintenance should be made to these systems
to ensure they are always operational. Check the DC
Electric Section, or the Operation and Maintenance
subject of this section, to find the details about operation
of these pumps and the details of how to manually run
them.
10.2.4 Forward and Aft Shower Sump Pump
Another pump that incorporates the float switch / pump
system is your shower sump pump. Due to the level of
the shower drain, we have installed a pump system to
rid the boat of water from your shower. The small hold-
ing tank also acts as a collection point for hair and other
waste materials that might get washed down the shower
drain.
Fig. 10.7 Aft Shower Sump Pump
As in the bilge pumps, when the water reaches a certain
level in the sump box, the float energizes the pump and
clears the water. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance
subject of this section for details on the servicing or main-
tenance of the shower sump.
