above system. In the "Edson" pump system, a piece of!
wood which enters one end of the hose will be ejected!
at the other end. The hose used for the bilge pump!
should be of the "vacuum" type to insure that it will!
not collapse because of the suction. Do not use!
transparent reinforced hose.!
HEAD!
Do not buy a cheap head. Nothing can be!
more unpleasant than to have to take one apart to!
unclog it. Good quality heads will not clog. The one!
we recommend is the "Simpson-Lawrence SL-400", which!
never gave us problems. A very visible users' guide!
should be installed in the head, so your guests won't!
cause you problems.!
SEACOCKS!
All thru-hulls under the waterline should have a!
seacock. Near all of these seacocks, there should be a!
wooden dowel large enough to block the hole, should it!
be required. As mentioned before, keep the thru-hulls!
to a minimum. There should be only one water fill!
intake and it should be opposite the diesel intake.!
This intake is diverted to the four tanks. Provisions!
have been made in the cockpit compartment to install!
these fills and they are well separated to avoid!
errors or intruders.!
