Prevention of water incursion and stability
5.6.1
Hull and deck through fittings and closing valves
The boat has a rainwater drainage system, which means that rainwater in the open space of
the boat is drained when the boat is on the water. The system also functions when the boat
is out of water, provided that the bow is higher than the stern and closing valve is open. The
rainwater drainage valve is located underneath the plywood plate of the middle hatch of the
aft sofa. This drain valve is meant to be shut only when at heavy load to prevent potential
water incursion.
In other loading conditions the drainage valve should remain open to let
rainwater drain from the boat
.
The boat has an electric bilge pump in the bilge (location shown in the picture below). The
function of the bilge pump is automatic meaning that it will automatically empty the bilge if
there will appear water. The capacity of the electric bilge pump is about
40 l/min.
On the
right hand of the steering wheel you find the manual switch to turn on the electric bilge for
testing/checking the function. In the switch there is a light that will turn on if there is water
in the bilge. If the light turns on you should immediately check the bilge by open the
inspection hatch in the plywood bottom plate underneath the middle hatch in the aft sofa. If
the bilge is empty you can continue boating but if the light turns on again and pump starts to
empty the bilge you have to immediately drive to the shore and nearest harbour or landing-
stage and thereafter lift up the boat from water to find out the reason to the leakage.
The electric bilge pump can be checked by opening the inspection hatch in the engine well.
