5.6.2 Bilge pumps and drainage
The location of the boat’s drainage device is shown in Diagram
2. Bilge pumps or the ends of suction hoses are positioned as
close to the bottom plate as is practicable. Even so, a small
amount of water inevitably remains in the bilge where it cannot be
discharged by the pump. However, this water can be drained off
through the drain outlet on the right-hand side of the boat’s tran-
som.
Buster X is equipped with an electrically-operated, automatic
bilge pump. It discharges water that has collected in the bilge
whenever the surface sensor detects its presence. The draining
capacity of the electrical bilge pump is approx. 38 l/min. The au-
tomatic pump is in a constant state of readiness independent of
the position of the main power switch, provided the accumulator
is connected. The bilge pump is activated when the sensor is fully
submerged for five seconds and is deactivated when the sensor
is dry. The pump can also be force-fed by activating the spring-
loaded switch on the switch panel.
The suction head of the electrically-operated bilge pump should
regularly be checked and cleared of debris that may have accu-
mulated there. Access to the pump is through the service hatch in
the engine well.
WARNING! The bilge pump system is not designed to deal with
leaks resulting from running aground or leaks that oc-
cur as a result of other damage.
ATTENTION! Check the amount of bilge water by emptying the
bilge manually by means of the spring loaded switch
on the switch panel, or possibly with a hand pump
before each using time.
ATTENTION! Check the operation of the bilge pump at regular in-
tervals. If you notice that the pump does not operate
properly, clean the suction opening of the pump from
litter and, if needed, contact a Buster dealer.
