WATER DRAINAGE SYSTEM
Waste water from the sink, washbasins and heads is drained off by thru-hull fittings with ball
valves (the valve is closed when the valve handle is perpendicular to the hose, the valve is
open when the valve handle is in line with the hose).
All the floors have holes (limber holes) for the water flow.
A watertight bilge tray under the engine receives the possible oil leaks.
A main sump above the ballast collects the water coming from the boarded floor.
The main sump is partially drained by an electric or a manual pump. Regularly dry the sump
with a sponge.
MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATION
- Regularly check the valves and thru-hull seacocks for proper operation and
watertightness.
- Turn off the valves when the water system is not in use.
- Visually check the water pump flow.
- Check the clamps and flexible hose connections for tightness.
- Pay attention to the seals for condition.
- Regularly make sure that the strum box and bilge are perfectly clean.
- Immediately switch off the electric system in case a pump is running while all the water
supplies are turned off.
- In case of a leak check the system.
WARNING
The bilge pump system is not designed to provide buoyancy to the boat in case of damage.
The bilge pump system is designed to drive out the water being either sea spray or leaks but
absolutely not the water coming through a hole in the hull, this hole being the result of a
damage.
