A main sump well is located under the floor of each hull.
It is drained by:
- A manual bilge pump in cockpit.
- An electric pump to automatic sump located in the sump. A switch
on the electrical panel allows forcing it.
The fore compartments and the engine bilges are watertight. A hose
equipped with a valve enables water that enters accidentally to run
into the sump. These valves are located under the floor in fore and
aft cabins,near the sump.
Under normal conditions these remain closed
.Waste water from the sink, the washbasin and the heads is drained
off by thru-hull fittings with ball valves (the valve is closed when the
valve handle is perpendicular to the hose, the valve is open when
the valve handle is in line with the hose).
• MAINTENANCE
- Regularly check the valves and thru-hull fittings for proper opera-
tion and watertightness.
- Turn off the valves when the water system is not in use.
- Visually check the water pump flow.
- Check the clamps and flexible hose connections for tightness. Pay
attention to the seals for condition.
- Regularly make sure that the sump and bilge are perfectly clean.

RECOMMENDATION
Immediately switch off the electric system in case a pump is
running while all the water supplies are turned off.
- In case of a leak check the system.
WARNING
The bilge pump system is not designed to provide buoyancy
to the boat in case of damage.
The bilge pump system is designed to drive out the water
being either sea spray or leaks but absolutely not the water
coming through a hole in the hull, this hole being the result
of a damage.
