SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
- Ensure that the bilge pumps are in working order before putting to sea.
- Regularly clean the sump and bilge pump strainers from any debris which could obstruct the pumps.
- If the watertight bulkheads separating the forward and aft spaces are equipped with scupper valves,
these must be kept shut under normal circumstances, and only opened to empty water in the main
bilge.
- Make sure you know where to find the manual bilge pump and its handle.
- Make sure you know where to find the switch for the electric bilge pump on the electrical panel.
