4.6.4 Piston pump
A piston pump is an excellent bilge emptying device. Every boat should have one on board
and it should always be accessible in the galley locker.
4.6.5 Electric bilge pump
In addition we have installed an electric bilge pump with a capacity of 120 l/min. The suction
filter (1) with return valve is under the galley towards the middle of the bilges. The outlet is
on the flat part of the stern. The switch is on the navigation panel among the group of
switches.
WARNING
The total pump capacity will probably not be
sufficient to empty the boat in the event of a
collision with solid objects. Take measures for
such exceptional events with collision mats
and other devices.
NOTE
Both bilge systems only work if the suction filters are clearly under the
water. Small quantities of water should be removed with a sponge or a
dustpan.
