Access to the aft electrical bilge pump is via the motor well access plate, while access to
the manual bilge pump is from the stern platforms.
The electrical bilge pump is rated for 2271 litres/hour and is activated automatically by
free-float switch when water in the bilge reaches a predetermined level. In normal
conditions, there shall not be any water in the bilge. If there is water, it is due to the
leaks from above (deck, fitting, inspection covers) or damage to the hull (seawater leaks).
The reason for the leakage is to be determined and corrected soonest possible!
The bilge pumps can provide you with crucial extra time if your boat is taking in water,
allowing you to find and deal with the source of a leak or, in extremes, to put on life
jackets and hopefully keep your boat afloat long enough for help to arrive. However,
please note that the pump capacity cannot keep up with major leaks.
You can also manually activate the electric bilge pump at the console switch panel by
pressing and holding the bilge pump button (refer chapter 3.11.3 for dash layout). Push
this button and hold it to operate the bilge pump.
The manual bilge pump is only intended as a back-up pump in case of electrical failures
hindering the use of the electric pump. It is rated at 34.5 litres/minutes @ 45 strokes per
minute.
For complete instructions on operation and maintenance, we refer to the separate OEM
owner’s manual that was developed specifically for this equipment. It is provided with the
Anytec document bag.
