is protected by a “push to reset” circuit breaker
located in the battery switch panel. The automatic
circuit remains activated when the battery switch
is in the OFF position and the batteries are con-
nected. The manual switch in the helm is supplied
current when the battery switches are activated.
An LED light in the manual switch indicates when
the bilge pump is operating. All bilge pumps
pump water to thru-hull fittings located above the
waterline in the hull sides.
The manual bilge pump should be activated briefly
each time the boat is used. This will ensure that
it is operating properly and increase the service
life of the pump. The automatic switch should be
manually activated periodically to verify opera-
tion by pressing the “Pump Check” button on the
pump. This is particularly important before oper-
ating your boat offshore. Refer to the Electrical
Systems chapter and the bilge pump operating
manual for additional information on bilge pump
operation.
When the boat is out of the water the bilge can be
drained by a garboard drain located in the transom
near the bottom of the hull. 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 SEAWATER 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.
NOTICE:
Any oil spilled in the bilge must be thoroughly
removed and properly disposed of before op-
erating 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 DISCHARGE 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 BULKHEADS SHOULD BE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE U.S. COAST GUARD REGULATIONS.
7.5 Deck and Cockpit
Compartment Drains
Fishbox/Cooler
The fishbox below the cockpit sole in the bow is
drained overboard by gravity (221 Winyah) or
by a diaphragm pump out system connected to
a thru-hull fitting in the transom (251 XS.) The
diaphragm pump is located in the stern bilge and
is activated by the Fishbox Pump Out switch in the
helm switch panel. Monitor the water level as the
diaphragm pump drains the fishbox and turn the
pump off immediately when draining is complete.
The pump could be damaged if it is allowed to run
dry for extended periods.
