5.4. BILGE SYSTEM
Bilge Pump
Your Northstar ORION RIB has one (1) 500 GPH automatic bilge
pump in the aft compartment.
The water in the entire bilge compartment is discharged by this
automatic pump.
Bilge pumps should be checked periodically for proper operation.
The control of the automatic bilge pump is on the switch panel.
Bilge pump is fed directly from the battery and it is on automatically
even if you turn off the main battery switch
Water which can enter the bilge for various reasons will be
automatically discharged when you are not in the boat.
Running the electric bilge pumps dry will damage the pump.
