Recorded configuration

  • Pressurized freshwater system with two pumps and one stainless-steel expansion tank.
  • Reversible freshwater transfer pump.
  • Four electric bilge pumps with visual and audible alarms.
  • Two manual bilge pumps with three-way valve arrangement recorded in the status sheet.
  • Electric shower-drain pumps.
  • Electric toilets using freshwater flush.
  • Seawater washdown pump serving cockpit and windlass use.
  • Built-in pressure-washer provision at anchor, cockpit and flybridge areas.

Damage-control boundary

Pump count does not establish dewatering capacity for every casualty. The private controlled plan must show compartment boundaries, suction points, discharge points, through-hulls, valve positions, electrical sources and the effect of heel or trim. That plan must be physically traced and exercised aboard.

Acceptance items

  1. Identify and label every bilge, shower, freshwater, washdown and sanitation pump.
  2. Test automatic and manual bilge operation and every audible/visual alarm.
  3. Verify manual-pump suction selection and discharge.
  4. Establish normal pressure, cycling and accumulator condition for freshwater pumps.
  5. Confirm toilet isolation, tank-level indication, pump-out and legal-discharge controls.
  6. Produce a laminated private through-hull and flooding-response plan carried offline aboard.

Controlling evidence

  • July 2026 hull-9 configuration/status sheet.
  • Hull-9 fresh-water pressure, water-filter and watermaker customization records.

Record limitation

The evidence establishes equipment scope. It does not establish final hose routing, valve labeling, alarm set points or pump performance.
