1. bilGe
a. fuel anD oil spillaGe
Regulations prohibit discharging fuel or oily waste
in navigable waters. Discharge is dened as any
action which causes a lm, 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 it properly ashore.
If there is much fuel or oil in the bilge, contact a
knowledgeable marine service to remove it. Never
pump contaminated bilge overboard.
Fill fuel tank less than rated capacity. Allow for fuel
expansion.
b. Drain pluG
The bottom of the engine compartment is called
the “bilge”. It is the lowest and inner part of the hull.
Water and other liquids will collect here.
After removing your boat from the water, unthread
the drain plug to drain the bilge (Figure 4.1.1).
c. bilGe puMps
A bilge pump and oat switch are located in the
bottom of the bilge (Figure 4.1.2). The bilge pump
is manually activated from the switch panel located
on the helm.
Before starting the engine, press the bilge pump
switch so that the switch light comes ON. Make
sure the pump is working by opening the engine
compartment, listening to hear the pump running
and check to see that liquid is being pumped out
from the hull discharge. If the bilge has more liquid
than normal, see Maintenance Section for locating
and correcting the problem.
