BILGE PUMP SYSTEM
The purpose of the Bilge Pump System
is to remove any water that may accumu-
late within the bilge area of your yacht.
Although a small amount of water in the
bilge area is expected, the water should
never be above the bilge switch. If it is,
this means that the switch is not working
correctly. Make sure they are not turned
off. If the problem continues, please
contact a service technician to solve the
problem. The bilge area is de
fi
ned as the
interior area of the hull below the designed
waterline. Your 42C is equipped with three
(3) bilge pumps that are capable of pump-
ing 1250 gallons of water per hour. The
bilge water is pumped directly overboard.
Normal operation of the bilge pumps is au-
tomatic. Each bilge pump is equipped with
a
fl
oat-type switch that will automatically
activate the pump when the bilge water
reaches a certain level. The automatic
switches are connected directly to the bat-
teries and will operate even if the battery
switch is turned OFF. Each of the bilge
pumps can also be activated manually by
individual switches located on the AC/DC
Electrical Panel (See the Electrical Pages
in this section of your Owner’s Manual for
the location of the Bilge Pump Switches).
The bilge pump will operate continuously
until the pressure is taken OFF the switch.
Periodic maintenance of the bilge pumps
should consist of the following:
• Visually inspect each bilge pump for any
debris that may have accumulated. Re-
move any debris noted.
• Manually test each bilge pump by ac-
tivating the manual switches located on
the AC/DC Electrical Panel. Listen to each
bilge pump as it is manually activated.
They should emit a quiet “whirring” sound.
If any abnormal sounds are noted, contact
your Silverton dealer for further inspection
and replacement, if necessary.
IMPORTANT: After testing each bilge
pump by turning ON the manual switches,
be certain they are turned OFF. The
constant operation of the bilge pumps will
eventually discharge the batteries.
While underway, the aft bilge pump should
be used. While docked, the midships bilge
pump should be used.
Location of the bilge pumps is as follows:
• FORWARD PUMP - Access to the
forward pump is through the hatch open-
ing located on the Galley Floor.
• MIDDLE PUMP - Access to the mid-
dle pump is through the engine room. The
pump is located in the front section of the
engine room.
• AFT PUMP - Access to the aft pump
is under the
fi
sh box located at the cock-
pit.
