WATER DISCHARGE

Waste water from the closets is discharged by sea chests, fitted with quarter turn valves
(when the valve handle is perpendicular with the pipe, the valve is closed, and open
when along the pipe centreline).
Water from the floor and stuffing boxes flowsat the center of the boat. There is two sepa-
rated zones fore and aft the engine compartment ( A waterproof carter under the engine
receive the possible oil leaks).
The fore zone is drained by means of an electric pump
The aft zone is drained by means of an electric pump and the manual pump in the cock-
pit.
RECOMMENDATIONS / MAINTENANCE
Check the valves and sea cocks for water tightness and operation regulary.
Shut the valves when the system is not in use.
Visually check whether the pumps discharge.
Check the clamps and hose pipe couplings and seals for condition.
Ensure regularly that the bilge and strum-boxes are perfectly clean.
If one pump should be running while all water supplies are shut,
switch the power off immediately.
Check the water system and eliminate the breakdown.

The bilge pump system is not designed to maintain the buoyancy of the boat
in case of damage.
It is intended for driving out the water coming from sea spray or leaks,
but absolutely not from a hole in the hull resulting from a damage.
