5.4 Draining system
Your boat’s draining system consists of an automatic bilge pump system with electric bilge pumps, a manual bilge pump and a draining system with drainage holes on the deck for rain water and wave splashes.
Risk of drowning!
The boat can sink or capsize if too much water gets into the boat as the bilge pump system can not remove it all.
The bilge pumping system is not designed for damage control. The combined capacity of the system is not intended to drain the craft in case of damage.
See the bilge pump manufacturer’s manuals for instructions on how to use and maintain the pumps.
1 | Access to FWD bilge pump in the bow of the boat | 4 | Manual bilge pump |
2 | Access to MID bilge pump in the midship of the boat | 5 | Access to AFT bilge pump in the aft of the boat |
