Water system drainage
A main sump well is located under the floor of each hull.
It is drained by:
- A manual bilge pump in cockpit.
- A manually activated electric bilge pump (electrical panel and
steering station).
- An automatically activated submersible pump located in the well.
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 drainage off the sink and the toilets is ensured by thru-
hull fittings with quarter turn valves (valve closed when the handle is
perpendicular to the pipe, valve open when the handle is in line with
the pipe).

MAINTENANCE
- Regularly check the valves and thru-hull fittings for proper operation
and water-tightness.
- Turn off the valves when the water system is not in use.
- Visually check water pump flow.
- Check the clamps and flexible hose connections for tightness, check
condition of the seals.
- Regularly make sure that the sump and bilge are perfectly clean.

RECOMMENDATION
Immediately switch off the electric system if a pump
starts running when all the water supplies are
turned off.
- Check the system and neutralize the problem.
WARNING
The bilge pump system is not designed to provide
buoyancy for the boat in the event of damage.
The bilge pump system is designed to drain water
from sea spray or leaks but absolutely not to drain
water entering through a hole in the hull as a result
of damage.
