BILGE PUMPS
Andiamo
is equipped with a 33 GPM bilge pump with a separate automatic float switch. The pump master
switch located on the electrical panel will turn the pump on for testing, however the pump is permanently
wired for automatic operation. You may occasionally hear the pump operate due to condensation. An
auxiliary, hand operated, bilge pump is operated in the cockpit using the handle provided for that purpose.
The handle is stored under the lid of the starboard cockpit lazarette. This is used only in emergency
situations.
THRU-HULL SEA COCKS

perpendicular to plumbing (typically horizontal). All sea cocks (except as noted herein) are normally left
open while cruising. Please leave all open when returning the boat.
