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.
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.
