Regulations prohibit discharging fuel or oily waste
in navigable waters. Discharge is defined as any
action which causes a film, sheen or discoloration
on the water surface, or causes a sludge or emulsion
beneath the water surface. A common violation is
bilge discharge. Use rags or sponges to soak up
fuel or oily waste, then dispose of it properly ashore.
If there is excessive amount of fuel or oil in the bilge,
contact a knowledgeable marine service to remove
it. Never pump contaminated bilge overboard.
As a precaution against fuel spillage,fill fuel tank(s)
less than rated capacity. Allow for fuel expansion.

The 44 DB is equipped with four (4) bilge pumps,
including two (2) emergency high water bilge
pumps. Your yacht is also equipped with a gray
water sump, with pump and float switch.
The two primary bilge pumps are equipped with
switches on the control station switch panel. These
switches have MANUAL and AUTO positions. When
the switch is in the MANUAL position, the pump will
run continuously. When the switch is in the AUTO
position, the pump is activated when there is enough
water in the bilge to raise the float switch to its
highest position; and deactivated when the water
recedes. The pumps should NOT be left in the
MANUAL mode unless the bilge is being
pumped out for servicing.
The emergency bilge pumps and high water float
switches are wired to the systems monitor located
on the dash at the control station (see "SYSTEMS
MONITOR" in Section 2 - page 2.20).
Whenever a bilge pump turns ON, either manually
or automatically, the systems monitor will display
which pump is active. Should the high water
alarms become activated, immediate attention
to the area indicated on the systems monitor
panel is required.
