PILLAGE
The 58 DB is equipped with four (4) bilge pumps,
including two (2) emergency high water bilge
pumps. One emergency high water pump is located
in the floor hatch in the master stateroom (figure
4.1.2), the other is located in the aft bilge (figure
4.1.3, item “C”). Your yacht is also equipped with a
shower sump with pump and float switch (See figure
7.9.1).

UMPS
The forward and aft bilge pumps are equipped with
switches on the control station switch panel. These
switches have MANUAL and AUTO positions.
When the switch is in the MANUAL position, the
pump will run continuously. When the switch is in
the AUTO position, the pump is activated when
there is enough water in the bilge to raise the float
switch to its highest position; and deactivated when
the water recedes. The pumps should NOT be left
in the MANUAL mode unless the bilge is being
pumped out for servicing. The emergency bilge
pump located under the floor of the master
stateroom is automatically activated when there is
enough water in the compartment to raise the float
switch.
The emergency bilge pumps and high water float
switches are wired to the systems monitor located
on the dash at the control station (see "SYSTEMS
MONITOR" in Section 2 - page 2.16).
Whenever a bilge pump turns ON, either manually
or automatically, the systems monitor will display
which pump is active. Should the high water alarms
become activated, immediate attention to the area
indicated on the systems monitor panel is required.
Each pump is protected by a breaker on the main
DC breaker panel located on the port aft component
board in the engine room (See Fig. 6.4.1).
