Chapter 6: Plumbing

Bilge Pumps

•

Your yacht has several
bilge pumps for pump-
ing water out of the
bilge.

•

The autofloat switches,
mounted next to the
bilge pumps, will turn
On the bilge pumps if
bilge water rises above a
preset level.

•

You can also turn On the
bilge pumps using the
switches at the helm.

•

The bilge pumps are
wired directly to the bat-
teries. Unless the batter-
ies are dead, the bilge
pump system should
work even when your
yacht is unattended.

Discharge of oil, oil waste or fuel into navigable waters is prohibited by law. Violators are sub-
ject to legal action by the local authorities.
