5.4 Draining system
Your boat’s draining system consists of an automatic bilge pump system with three electric bilge pumps, a manual bilge pump and a cockpit draining system with drain holes for rain water and wave splashes.
The draining system
is not foolproof! The bilge pump system is not designed to pump out
large amounts of water.
See the bilge pump manufacturer’s manuals for instructions on how to use and maintain the pumps.
