7.4 Bilge Drainage
The bilge pumps are activated both manually, by a switch in the helm station, and automatically,
by a float switch built into the pumps. The automatic float switches are protected by circuit
breakers located on the TABS unit and remain activated when the battery switches are in the
“OFF” position and the batteries are connected. All bilge pumps pump water out of thru hulls
located above the waterline in the hull. The rear bilge pump and automatic switch are located
near the transom, below the stern fishbox, and the forward pump and automatic switch are located
in the engine room.
Note: See Electrical Systems for additional information on bilge pump operation.
When the boat is out of the water, the bilge can be drained by a thru hull drain located in the hull
near the transom. The plug should be removed whenever the boat is hauled out of the water and
installed just prior to launching. It is important to check the drain plug regularly to make sure
it is tight.
A LOOSE DRAIN PLUG WILL ALLOW SEA WATER TO ENTER THE BILGE AND
COULD CAUSE THE BOAT TO SINK. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CHECK THE
DRAIN PLUG FREQUENTLY TO ENSURE IT IS PROPERLY TIGHTENED.
IMPORTANT: Any oil spilled in the bilge must be thoroughly removed and properly
disposed of before operating the bilge pump. The discharge of oil from
the bilge is illegal and subject to a fine.
THE FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT PROHIBITS THE DIS-
CHARGE OF OIL OR OILY WASTE INTO OR UPON THE NAVIGABLE WATERS
OF THE UNITED STATES OR THE WATERS OF THE CONTIGUOUS ZONE IF
SUCH DISCHARGE CAUSES A FILM OR SHEEN UPON, OR A DISCOLORATION
OF THE SURFACE OF THE WATER, OR CAUSES A SLUDGE OR EMULSION
BENEATH THE SURFACE OF THE WATER. VIOLATORS ARE SUBJECT TO A
PENALTY OF $10,000.
CERTAIN BULKHEAD AREAS ARE SEALED IN ACCORDANCE WITH U.S.
COAST GUARD REGULATIONS THAT WERE IN EFFECT AT THE DATE OF
MANUFACTURE OF THE BOAT. ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THESE BULK-
HEADS SHOULD BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE U.S. COAST GUARD REGU-
LATIONS.
