WARNING
The bilge pump system is not designed to provide buoyancy to the boat in case
of damage.
The bilge pump system is designed to drive out the water being either sea spray
or leaks but absolutely not the water coming through a hole in the hull, this hole
being the result of a damage.
- Do not let the pumps run while dry, this may cause them damage.
- The water in the bilge shall be kept at its minimum.
- Check the functioning of each bilge pump regularly.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
- Clean off debris which could block the pump intake points or strainers. If the watertight
partitions which seal off the fore and aft points are fitted with valves they must be closed
at all times and only opened to drain water into the main bilge.
