5.4 Draining system
Your boat’s draining system comprises a cockpit gravity draining system, an automatic bilge pump system, and a manual bilge pump system.
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.
Your boat is equipped with four cockpit drains and two engine well drains. Two of the cockpit drains are located in the middle of the boat and are connected via a reinforced hose to the hull openings with seacocks. Another two deck drains are located at the aft of the boat.
Keep the deck drains clean and free of debris.
Your boat is equipped with three electric bilge pumps and a manual bilge pump.
See the bilge pump manufacturer’s manuals for instructions on how to use and maintain the pumps.
