Note

The bilge pump automatic function can be tested ONLY by flooding

the bilge with water.

with pumps of this design failing to turn off when the bilge water level has been

reduced to the lower switch limit level that should stop the pump. To protect

against battery depletion in the event of continuous running, PSA has

installed a float switch in the bilge pump circuit. The float switch reliably senses

low water and turns off the bilge pump in case the water sensor switch

malfunctions.

The redundant pump switches complicate testing of the pump automatic

function. The pump will NOT operate if the float switch float is lifted manually. If

the water level sensor switch correctly senses low bilge water, it will keep the

circuit open and the pump will not operate. To test the bilge pump automatic

function, flood the bilge with water.

Emergency Manual Bilge Pump

The automatic electric bilge pump is supplemented by the emergency

manual bilge pump. The manual bilge pump is located in the port lazarette at the

aft end of the storage shelf. The system incorporates a bilge water intake, out

flow line, pump and transom through hull separate from the electric bilge pump

system. This makes the emergency system entirely redundant and not subject to

a point of failure common with the electric bilge pump system.

In a serious flooding emergency, the manual pump should be operated

continuously to augment the electric pump. If the pumps do not reduce bilge

water level, the bailing buckets (stowed in V-berth bilge and port lazarette) should

also be used.

The system is manually powered

using the handle stowed in the

starboard transom locker. The

handle is inserted in the pump

socket on the cockpit port side,

adjacent to the helm at sole level.
