The owner of the boat is responsible for ensuring that there is at least one baler or bucket on the
boat and that it has been secured.
WARNING!
The bilge pump system is not intended to cope with a leak caused by running aground or other
equivalent damage (hull damage).
WARNING!
Always keep the drainpipe shut when its inboard end is constantly below the waterline due to load-
ing. The shut-off flap on the transom only prevents water from entering the boat when reversing!
NOTE!
Make sure that water can flow unobstructed through the drainpipe. Debris such as autumn leaves
may obstruct the water flow, which can cause the boat to fill with water and sink. The bilge pump
system does not work in conditions below 0°C.
PRECAUTION!
Refer to the image above to locate the pumps. Regularly check to ensure that there is no debris
at the end of the suction hoses for each of the pumps. You can access the electrical pump by doing
the following: Screw off the bottom plate (plywood plate) under the aft seat. The bilge pump is lo-
cated in a case and you can just lift it up as it is not fitted with screws. Clean out the bottom layer
in the bilge pump by letting it down into its case. The end of the hand pump’s suction hose is situ-
ated between the fuel tank and the transom, and can be reached by screwing off the bottom plate
under the aft seat.
NOTE!
There is always some condensed water in the bilge. A small amount of water may also come
