1. Drain plug
2. Shut-off flap
3. Rainwater drainage valve
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.
NOTE!
There is always some condensed water in the bilge. The through
fittings may also allow water to seep through, particularly as the
boat ages. Always remember to check the bilge, via the inspection
hatch under the aft seat, before you leave the boat at quay or
buoy and always before setting off. Have any leaks repaired at an
authorised repair shop.
WARNING! The boat’s handling properties may become ex tremely dangerous
if there is water in the bilge.
WARNING! If the boat is fitted with a water ski arch (optional accessory) and
it is used to tow a water skier, note that the handling properties
of the boat may become extremely dangerous, especially if the
skier makes sharp moves and a force is exerted on the boat at an
angle of 45° to 90° to the direction of travel.
5.6.2 Stability and buoyancy
Please note that stability is reduced by any weight added high up. Any change in the
distribution of weight on board may significantly affect the stability, trim and performance of
your craft. Please remember that large breaking waves always present a serious danger to
stability.
The amount of water in the bilge must be kept as low as possible.
The boat’s stability may be impaired during towing, or when passenger are lifting heavy
items.
