manual bilge pump
- [ ] Perform test that bilge pump is functioning properly
A boat shall have a permanently installed manual bilge pump of at least a 10 GPM (37.8 liter per minute) capacity and which is operable from on deck with the cabin closed with the discharge not dependent on an open hatch. Unless permanently attached to the pump, the bilge pump handle shall be securely attached to the boat in its vicinity via a lanyard or catch. A bilge pump discharge shall not be connected to a cockpit drain. The bilge pump shall not discharge into a cockpit unless that cockpit opens aft to the sea. Unsinkable multihull designs with positive buoyancy are exempted from the permanently mounted manual bilge pump requirement, but are required to carry a portable manual bilge pump of at least 10 gallons-per-minute (GPM) capacity for use in any of the hulls, and it shall be secured to the boat via a lanyard. *OYRA change
