Read carefully the operating and maintenance instructions for the bilge pump that goes with your
boat.
ATTENTION!
The level of the water in the bilge must be kept to a minimum.
WARNING!
The bilge pump system is not designed to handle water entering as a result of holing of the hull. It is
intended to remove water coming from spray, leaks from seacocks or other moderate leaks.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
Ensure that bilge pumps are in working order before putting to sea
Know where to find the hand pump and its handle
Know where to find the switch for the electric pump on the electrical panel
Regularly clean away any debris that might obstruct the sump well and the pump intake points or
strainers.
If the watertight bulkheads that isolate the fore- and after-peaks are fitted with valves, these should
normally be kept closed and only opened in order to drain the water into the main bilge
Pressurized fresh-water pump
Fresh water is supplied to the sink and washbasin(s) by an electric water pump beneath port
banquette in saloon. A filter is installed upstream of the pump, and must be cleaned regularly.
Never allow the pump to run if the tank is empty. Refill the tank before using the water supply
again.
The tanks can be sterilized using Clonazone® tablets (available from pharmacies). Every year,
remove the inspection covers and clean them by filling with water containing a bactericidal
detergent; leave it to act for a few hours, then rinse two or three times. During wintering, fill the
tanks up completely to avoid the development of algæ or bacteria, or if there is a risk of freezing,
empty the tanks; never use anti-freeze.
Hot water is produced by a water-heater connected to the engine cooling circuit and the shore
electric supply.
After the water-heater has been emptied, make sure that the element is covered before power is re-
applied.
