Bilge Pump Maintenance
The aft pump and high water pump can be accessed
through the equipment hatch in the aft cockpit floor.
The forward pump can be accessed through a hatch
in the floor of the cabin.
To clean the pump strainer, depress the lock tabs
on both sides of the pump and lift the pump motor
(Figure 3.2.1).
Inspect the bilge pump intakes frequently
and keep them free of dirt or material
which may impede the flow of water
through the pump.
NOTICE
“HIGH WATER INDICATOR” light on the control
station switch panel (See fig. 2.17.1) will be ON.
Take immediate action:
• Switch all bilge pumps ON.
• Use your radio to broadcast a PAN-PAN
distress call (See page 1-11).
• Turn OFF all AC and DC breakers before
stepping into the water in the bilge.
• Determine the problem and take necessary
action to stop the inflow of water.
• If after you determine your situation
no longer requires assistance, you must
cancel the PAN-PAN call.
If water does not come out of the discharge hose:
1. Remove the motor module to see if the
impeller rotates with the power on.
2. Remove any debris that may have
accumulated in the impeller section or
strainer base.
3. Check hose and connection on hull side
for debris and proper connections.
Float Switch
Frequently inspect the area under the float switches
to ensure they are free from debris and gummy
bilge oil.
To clean:
• Soak in heavy duty bilge cleaner for 10
minutes, agitating several times.
• Check for unrestricted operation of the float.
• Repeat the cleaning procedure if necessary.
Fuel & Oil Spillage
Regulations prohibit discharging fuel or oily waste
in navigable waters. Discharge is defined as any
action which causes a film, sheen or discoloration
on the water surface, or causes a sludge or emulsion
beneath the water surface. A common violation is
bilge discharge.
Use rags or sponges to soak up fuel or oily waste,
then dispose of them properly ashore. If there is a
large quantity of fuel or oil in the bilge, contact a
knowledgeable marine service to remove it. Never
pump contaminated bilge discharge overboard.
Fill fuel tank less than rated capacity. Allow for
fuel expansion.
