MANUAL BILGE PUMP
The manual bilge pump is in the cockpit.
The control arm of the pump shall be kept accessible whatever the circumstances.
PROCEDURE TO BE FOLLOWED
- Switch on the electric bilge pump.
- If necessary activate the manual pump.
- Identify the source of the leak by tasting the water and decide on the relevant action to be
taken:
• freshwater = watertank leak.
• seawater = breach of hull.
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.
- Do not let the electric pumps run while dry, this may cause them damage.
- The water in the bilge shall be kept at its minimum.
- Check the functioning of each bilge pump regularly.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
- Clean off debris which could block the pump intake points or strainers. If the watertight
partitions which seal off the fore and aft points are fitted with valves they must be closed
at all times and only opened to drain water into the main bilge.
