Safety Precautions - Jeanneau 64 Owner's Manual

Bilge pump maintenance
Please refer to the manufacturer's notes on the instructions for checking and maintaining
the bilge pumps.
- The bilge pumps system is not designed to deal with water coming in
through breaches in the hull.
- Keep the water level in the bilges to the minimum.
- Never store anything right at the bottom of the boat: Allow bilge water to flow
freely down to the lowest point of the boat.
- Check that each bilge pump is working at regular intervals.
- Clear the bilge pump points or strainers of any debris that could clog them.
- 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.
