3.3.2.Bilge and Drainage Pumps
The LAGOON 51 bilge system consists of:
- Two electric bilge pumps on the central sumps at keel level.
- Two manual bilge pumps on the central sumps at keel level.
- Drainage management of the engine hold and front
compartments is ensured via pipes equipped with valves at
the sumps.
The chain locker is a watertight zone sealed off from the
boat. It is accessible by an emergency panel to be kept closed
except for work on the chain.
It is emptied via two scuppers above the waterline under
normal conditions.
Using the manual bilge pump (Item 1):
The manual bilge pumps are activated from the port and
starboard sides of the cockpit.
The pumping lever must be stored at its intended location
under the cockpit centre hood.
Using the electric bilge pumps:
The electric bilge pumps are controlled from the main
galley table, with the forced operation control of each bilge
pump also on the port helm console.
For each of the two electric pumps, on the main electrical
panel:
- Forced operation of the pump is controlled via the
"MANUAL" switch.
- An audible signal sounds when the high level sensor is
reached (at the main switchboard AND at the helm console).
