BILGE - BILGE PUMPS, BUNGS, SCUPPERS AND SEACOCKS
Access to the bilge (and access to the bilge pumps and
lower scupper seacocks) is made through the pod
access hatches.
Periodically inspect the bilge for any contamination,
including signs of oil or other foreign objects.
Bilge Pumps
The automatic bilge pump operates by an electrical
sensor. The pump can also be manually operated using
the
Bilge Pump
switch located on the console.

The bilge should always be checked after launch. A small amount of water in the bilge is normal.
Large amounts of water or any signs of fuel or oil should be immediately investigated. Never pump
fuel or oil overboard when the boat is in the water.
Check the functionality of the rule pump regularly
and clear any debris from the inlet filter. Release the
supporting arm by unscrewing the black retaining
knob. Unclip the pump from the mounting/filter by
depressing the two blue push-releases on the pump.
After inspecting and cleaning, reseat the pump,
ensuring the pump is correctly held in the pump’s
own retaining clips, before the additional support
arm is refitted and retaining knob secured.
It is recommended that a bailer/bucket is also
carried aboard for emergency bailing purposes.
Ensure the bailer is protected against accidental
loss.
