10.2.3 High Water Bilge Pump
The optional high water bilge pump is a redundant sys-
tem for additional protection on water accumulation within
the boat. As noted above, if a high water condition exists
and the optional high water bilge pump is installed (Fig.
10.5), the pump will be activated in conjunction with the
alarm.
It is located in the companionway landing and accessed
through the largest floor panel in the landing area. It has
a pumping capacity of 66 gallons per minute and func-
tions to remove water from the bilges in the event the
main bilge pump is overwhelmed or becomes inoperable.
The pump will discharge waste through the port aft thru-
hull.
10.2.3 Manual Bilge Pump
The optional manual bilge pump (Fig. 10.6), located in
the port cockpit, is also a redundant system for addi-
tional protection. The pump includes a manual handle
to be inserted into the pump mechanism where the up
and down motion on the handle will begin discharging
water out the thru-hull. Pumping capacity will depend on
the speed of the pump action. The actual pump can be
access through the port gull-wing seat lid. The manual
handle is stored under the port gull-wing seat lid. The
receiver for the manual handle is mounted to the port
cockpit seat face (includes a flip-down cover). The feed
end of the hose is located in the main bilge.

10.2.4 Shower Sump Pump System
The sump pump (Fig. 10.7) serves to discharge grey
water originating from the shower and collected in the
sump. The pump is activated and deactivated by press-
ing the ON/OFF switch. The system includes a filter
(shown with the pump) to collect larger waste materials
and will need to be frequently checked and cleaned.
The pump is located in the aft cabin and is accessed
through the port forward bunk drop-in. The ON/OFF
switch is located in the shower and would remain in the
ON position while the shower is running.
