Do not leave your boat unattended when it is con-
nected to shore water. Should one of the water lines
in your boat develop a leak, an unlimited amount of
water could enter your boat. Disconnect the shore
water hose whenever you leave your boat unat-
tended.
Your boat is equipped with three automatic bilge pumps
located beneath the cabin floor. The bilge is the lowest
point in the interior of the boat's hull where any liquid
that finds its way into the hull will accumulate. Each
pump can pump up to 2000 gallons of water per hour.
These pumps have been strategically installed to re-
move water that accumulates in three bilges:
1. The forward bilge starts below the master state-
room and continues to the bow. The forward bilge
pump is located below the master stateroom sole.
2. The amidships bilge is located in the engine room.
The amidships bilge pump is located in the forward,
center sole of the engine room between the center
stringers. If your boat was built for use in Europe,
there is also a hand bilge pump in the amidships
bilge.
3. The aft bilge is located directly below the cockpit.
The aft bilge pump is located in the aft, center of
the aft bilge area.
Never store anything in the bilges. Storing loose items
in the bilges could damage pumps, pipes or other
components that are essential for the proper operation
of your boat.
If you keep your boat in a climate where temperatures
can drop below freezing, make sure that all water
within the bilges is drained before you store the boat
for the winter. Water that freezes in the bilge could
cause severe damage to your boat and its compo-
