PE RATION
Waste water from the sink, washbasins and heads is drained off by thru-hull fittings with ball valves (the valve is closed when
the valve handle is perpendicular to the hose, the valve is open when the valve handle is in line with the hose).
All the floors have holes (limber holes) for the water flow.
A watertight bilge tray under the engine receives the possible oil leaks.
A main sump located above the ballast receives water from the bilges.
The main sump is partially drained by an electric or a manual pump. Regularly dry the sump with a sponge.
