the three bilge pumps. Open valves as needed to pump
water out of the bilge compartments.
(17) On hull numbers 8540 through 8560 and
8580 through 8618 incorporate clutch drive bilge pumps.
As shown in fig. 1-14.2 , two pumps are driven
by the port inboard engine and one pump is driven by the
starboard inboard engine. Each pump incorporates a
friction drive clutch plate and manual clutch lever. The
belt driven pulley on each pump is engaged or
disengaged with the pump shaft and impeller by
movement of the clutch lever. The clutch normally is
disengaged and would be engaged only when needed to
drain a compartment. The clutch can be engaged or
disengaged at any engine rpm.
(18) The bilge pump overboard discharge valves
and one valve is located on the starboard side. All three
valves must be open when engines are running. In hull
numbers 8500 thru 8539, all three valves must be open
when engines are running.
(19) The nine bilge line valves (fig. 2-14) are
located forward in the engine room. These valves are
opened as needed to pump out the various bilge
compartments.
(20) The hydraulic steering suction valve, hull
numbers 8500 through 8519 (fig. 2-16), is located at
bottom of steering system tank in the engine room. The
valve must be open before engines are started. The
Gunderson and Rohr crafts do not have a valve for this
purpose because the hydraulic fluid is pumped out
through the top of the tank.
(21) The ramp hoist hydraulic system supply
valve, hull numbers 8500 thru 8519 (fig. 2-16), is located
at bottom of ramp hoist system tank in the engine room.
This valve must be open when the ramp hoist system
pump is operating. Close this valve only for periods of
