Emergency Bilge Pump
In general, speedboats have a bilge pump installed under the floorboards where water seeks the lowest part of the boat, which is standard. But I don't think that is enough with the present slew of faster and more expensive boats. Bilge water moves from the middle section of the boat to the aft and can [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] leave the stern part with a lot of water when the boat is being propelled forward. Water weight also takes a toll on your fuel. An extra bilge pump should be installed in this area.
For a middle-sized boat, a pump with a capacity [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] of 1500 to 2000 gallons per hour should be utilized. We are of course assuming that the architecture of the boat doesn't trap some water at a certain portion other than the stern. You have to install another pump in that dammed up area, otherwise. Set the bilge pump to go off automatically once [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] the water reaches the level of the float switch. You [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] can install a light indicator in your dashboard console so that you are aware every single time that your pump [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] is set off.
In this way, you'll become quite familiar with how often the pump works on a regular basis. It is a good reason to be alarmed when the bilge pump [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] goes off more often than necessary. That would [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] mean that there is [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] something not working properly which is causing [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] the water level [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to rise often than usual.
See to it that [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] the propeller shaft packing is still in its right place keeping the openings watertight. Or maybe a hull hose, which is supposed to be dumping water from the boat, has become loose letting water fill up the bilge. Or a clamp from this hose, which is supposed [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to keep the water out, has been dislodged letting the water in.
Install a back-up pump, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] maybe with a much higher capacity (3000 to 3500 gallons per minute), and mount its float [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] switch higher than the first pump's switch for extra security. This pump should be set off when the primary pump fails or cannot keep up with the rate of water increase. This heightens your feeling of security. Precaution is better than being sorry when an accident has already happened.
With this kind of [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] set up, you are assured of the safety and the security of the boat. Then you can spend more time enjoying with family and friends.
Do you want to heighten your sense of security? Install back up in your boat. iMarine Inc. has a wide range of marine pumps including a .
