Main drainage system
Electric bilge pumps
- The bilge pumps are powered by DC.
- The electric bilge pump must only be used to discharge stagnant water at the bottom of the
bilge. It must not be used to pump out any oil-based products (petrol, oil) or inflammable liquids.
Operation:
I- Turn on the battery switches.
II- Switch on the bilge pump (Ref 3).
If the boat is equipped with an automatic bilge pump, the switch has an always-on position.
Bilge pump maintenance
Please refer to the manufacturer's notes on the instructions for checking and maintaining the
bilge pumps.
Location of the electric bilge pumps: Ref 2 Control: Steering station
(Ref 3)
- The drainage system is not designed to control water coming from breaches
in the hull.
- Keep the water level in the bilges to the minimum.
- Never store anything right at the bottom of the boat: Allow bilge water to flow
freely down to the lowest point of the boat.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
- Check that each bilge pump is working at regular intervals.
- Clear the bilge pump points or strainers of any debris that could clog them.
