7.2 Bilge Drainage
The bilge pump is activated both manually, by a switch
in the helm station, and automatically by a float switch
located next to the pump in the bilge. The automatic
float switch remains activated when the battery switch
is in the “OFF” position. All bilge pumps pump water
out of thru hulls located above the waterline in the hull.
Note: See Electrical Systems for additional information on bilge pump operation.
IMPORTANT: Any oil spilled in the bilge must be thoroughly removed and properly
disposed of before operating the bilge pump. The discharge of oil from the
bilge is illegal and subject to a fine.
When the boat is out of the water the bilge can be drained by a thru hull drain located in the transom
near the bottom of the hull. The plug should be removed whenever the boat is hauled out of the
water and installed just prior to launching. It is important to check the drain plug regularly to make
sure it is tight.
A LOOSE DRAIN PLUG WILL ALLOW SEA WATER TO ENTER THE BILGE AND COULD
CAUSE THE BOAT TO SINK. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CHECK THE DRAIN PLUG
FREQUENTLY TO ENSURE IT IS PROPERLY TIGHTENED.
THE FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT PROHIBITS THE DISCHARGE OF OIL
OR OILY WASTE INTO OR UPON THE NAVIGABLE WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES
OR THE WATERS OF THE CONTIGUOUS ZONE IF SUCH DISCHARGE CAUSES A FILM
OR SHEEN UPON, OR A DISCOLORATION OF THE SURFACE OF THE WATER, OR CAUSES
A SLUDGE OR EMULSION BENEATH THE SURFACE OF THE WATER. VIOLATORS ARE
SUBJECT TO A PENALTY OF $5,000.
CERTAIN BULKHEAD AREAS ARE SEALED IN ACCORDANCE WITH U.S. COAST GUARD
REGULATIONS THAT WERE IN EFFECT AT THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE OF THE
BOAT. ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THESE BULKHEADS SHOULD BE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE U.S. COAST GUARD REGULATIONS.
