- The drainage system is not designed to
control water coming from breaches in the hull.
- Keep the water level in the bilges to a
minimum.
- Never store anything at the very 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 points and suction filters of the
bilge pump 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.
