1.2.4. Bilge system
The anchor locker and the cockpit are self-draining so that no pumps are needed here. The
openings must be kept free of blockages.
The yacht is equipped with a manual and an electrical bilge pump, each with a capacity of 30
l/min. Their functionality is to be regularly checked.
The manual bilge pump is located at the helm position in the cockpit. The electrical bilge pump is
accessible through the floor hatch of the companionway.
The electrical bilge pump can be operated in two modes:
Automatically – the pump switches on if the bilge has reached a certain level
Manually - the pump is operated manually from the operating panel of the bilge pump.
Please pay attention to whether the valves are open or shut. Take special care to ensure that the
bilge in the engine room is free of oil.
Warning! The functionality of all bilge pumps is to be checked
regularly. The intakes of the pumps are to be cleansed of dirt.
Warning! The bilge system is not designed for damage control. See
Section 1.4 “Safety notes”.
The boat should be additionally equipped with a bucket on a rope or a bailer.
1.3. Fuel system
The fuel tank with approx. 140l capacity is located underneath the bed of the stern cabin(s). It can
be filled through the filler neck marked “Fuel” or “Diesel” located on the gunwale. To do so,
unscrew the lid. Check whether the ventilation apertures are clean.
The level can be read at the central control panel.
The fuel reaches the engine via a suction pipe and a preliminary fuel filter with a water separator.
Due to the short lines, the system predominantly consists of fireproof fuel pipes.
Please note that the return pipes are always open to ensure the return to the tank.
Tanking up
The boat should be tanked up carefully so that no fuel spills onto the deck or into the water. Keep
an oil absorbing cloth at hand. Open the cap and insert the funnel or the nozzle of the fuel pump.
Take care to establish contact with the filler neck (earthing). Then start tanking up.
Note: Only tank up clean fuel (diesel). Check and cleanse the filter
and the water separator on a regular basis.
Do not fill the inlet pipe all the way to the top. When you hear the sound of rising fuel stop
tanking.
