Plumbing Systems
General
The plumbing systems in your J/88 consist of manual and electrical bilge pumps, a sink, and the head (toilet).
There is also a very simple fresh water system option consisting of a simple manual hand operated pump
and a collapsible small bladder tank. This section will describe the standard plumbing locations and how they
operate.
Thru-Hulls & Seacocks
All Seacock fittings are Forespar Marelon. For safety reasons, we recommend that you attach with wire or
wire-tie an appropriate size tapered wooden plug in the vicinity of each of these fittings in the event of a hose
or valve failure. The fittings each have valve-handles. To reduce confusion, remember the
long end of the
handle indicates the direction of flow. Please refer to the Thru-Hull & Seacock diagram for a complete
layout of locations and sizes.
Pump Systems

Bilge Pumps There is one manual and one electric bilge pump system installed standard in the
J/88. Two pump intakes are located in the bilge aft of the keel under the main cabin centerline
floorboard.

The manual Whale Smart Bail BP5021B bilge pump with rated capacity of 59.9 liters/minute
(@70 strokes/minute) is installed on the cockpit wall and operated by opening the cover/handle and
using an up and down manual pumping action. Bilge water exits the boat from the manual pump
through the transom.

The Whale SuperSub Smart 1100 electric bilge pump with rated capacity of 69 liters per minute
is wired directly to the battery with its own panel mounted in the nav station adjacent to the electrical
panel. The default switch position is for automatic operation controlled by a water sensor that is
integral to the pump.

A yellow label with black lettering is included in proximity of the pump panel with a message
similar to the following:
NOTICE:
BILGE PUMP SWITCH MUST ALWAYS BE LEFT IN THE “AUTO” POSITION.

Bilge water exits the boat from the electric pump through a hose that loops up to a siphon break
and then to the overboard through the port side transom fitting.
Safety caution: Owners MUST leave the three position pole switch on the bilge pump panel (located in the
nav station) in the AUTO position in order for the bilge pump to perform properly. Bilge pumps do wear out
and the pump manufacturer, Whale Water Systems, Inc., recommends replacing the bilge pump every
THREE YEARS . Please refer directly to pump manuals and/or web site information for more about best
practices and maintenance of this component. Finally, it is prudent seamanship to carry replacement parts
for all onboard pumps.
Warning
the bilge pumping system is not designed for damage control. The combined capacity of the system
is not intended to drain the craft in the case of accident or damage.

Sink Drain empties directly overboard through a seacock fitting beneath the galley sink.
Head System
The standard J/88 is equipped with one Raritan PHII marine head which is capable of discharging effluents
into the standard 45 liter (6 gallon) holding tank and optionally from there overboard through a gravity fed
