7.3 Bilge Drainage
The bilge pumps are located in the stern bilge. All
bilge pumps pump water out of thru-hulls located
above the waterline in the hull. The bilge pumps
and automatic switch are located near the transom,
below the engine splashwell.
The bilge pump system consists of two pumps and
an automatic float switch. The float switch acti-
vates one pump that is fully automatic. There is no
manual switch for this pump. A “push to reset”
breaker near the battery switch activates the auto-
matic float switch. It is supplied current whenever
the batteries are connected. The bilge pump switch
in the helm activates the other bilge pump manually. The float switch does not activate it
automatically. The manual switch is supplied current when the house battery switch is activated.
It is protected by a breaker in the DC breaker panel.
The manual bilge pump should be activated briefly each time the boat is used. This will ensure
that it is operating properly and increase the service life of the pump. The automatic switch
should be manually activated to verify operation.
Note: See Electrical Systems for additional information on bilge pump operation.
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.
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.
