Pressure relieve valves 

All our vessels are Sitted with pressure relief valves, unless otherwise speciSied by the client. This gives 
you peace of mind as well as ensuring problem free boating. Periodic checking to see if your valves are 
not leaking and functioning properly is important. 

 

Draining: 

DECK DRAINING TRUNKS 

Ballistic Boats has re-introduced Two Thru-Transom 76mm Flexible Draining Trunks as requested 
by our Governing Body ( HPiVS ) which can be released via Sixed allocated Transom Cleats  

BILGE PUMPS 

Bilge pumps are used to remove bilge water (the bilge is the lowest compartment inside the hull of 
a vessel, where the two sides meet at the bottom). Fuel can mix with the bilge water, therefore, 
electric bilge pumps are designed to be non-sparking. Electric bilge pumps are Sitted with Sloat 
switches, which turn on the pumps automatically when the bilge Sills to a set level. Because bilge 
pumps can fail, a backup pump is recommended. The primary pump should be located at the 
lowest point of the bilge, while the secondary pump should be located somewhat higher. This 
activates the secondary pump only when the primary pump is overwhelmed and keeps the 
secondary pump free of the debris in the bilge that tends to clog the primary pump. 

Ballistic

®

 Rigid InSlatable Boats are standard Sitted with a minimum of 1 automatic 500 GPH 

electronic bilge pump unless otherwise speciSied by the client. 

HULL DRAINING PLUGS 

Ballistic

®

 Rigid InSlatable boats have one hull draining plug situated in the centre of the lowest 

point on your transom. The hull drain plug should be periodically removed to empty any water 
between the deck and the hull in all semi rigid ranges. To open, twist anti-clockwise. Never open 
the hull drain plug when you are on the water. Make sure your drain plug is closed by turning it 
clockwise before launching your craft.

 

NEVER TRY TO USE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES
