ELECTRIC BILGE PUMPS
The boat is fi tted with three electric bilge pumps.
All these electric bilge pumps are energized using the WATER PUMP switch on
the left on the dash board (operation by automatic start).
For safety reasons, one of the electric bilge pump functions automatically
even if the 24 V circuit is turned off.
The bilge pumps can be switched to manual operation using the switch on
the dash board.
For further information, please refer to the chapter WATER SYSTEMS.
MANUAL BILGE PUMP
In case of slowdown or failure of the electric bilge pumps, it is possible to use
the manual bilge pump.
It is located on the starboard cockpit side in front of the wheelhouse entrance
door.
PROCEDURE TO FOLLOW IN THE EVENT OF LEAK
Make sure that the electric bilge pumps are on.
If it is not enough to reduce the water level, get a crew member to work the
manual pump.
