Operation:
I- Turn on the battery switches.
II- Switch on the bilge pump (Ref 4).
If the boat is equipped with an automatic bilge pump, the switch has an always-on position.
Bilge pump maintenance
Please refer to the manufacturer's notes in the instructions for checking and maintaining the bilge pumps.
- The total capacity of the bilge pump system
is not designed to drain the boat in case of
damage.
- Keep the water level in the bilges to a
minimum.
- Never store anything at the very bottom of
the boat: Allow bilge water to flow freely down to
the lowest point of the boat.
- Check that each bilge pump is working at
regular intervals.
- Clear the points and suction filters of the
bilge pump of any debris that could clog them.
- If the watertight partitions which seal off the
fore and aft points are fitted with valves they
must be closed at all times and only opened to
drain water into the main bilge.
