1. BILGE

A. 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 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(s) less than rated capacity. Allow for

fuel expansion.

A bilge pump and float switch are located in the

bottom of the bilge (Figure 4.1.2). The bilge pump

is activated manually from the switch panel located

on the helm (Figure 4.1.3).

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).
