Nevermore Systems Descriptions

S/V Nevermore Ship's System Descriptions

Editor's note: 
 * This document is spun off Aleida's Sub-System list version 11June04.
 * Observe that -- because section numbers are coded into the section
   headings -- we have turned the show contents" feature off, since
   it prepends its own computed section numbers to make a very silly list. 

3 BOAT SYSTEMS

3.1 standing and running rigging (including mast-partners)

- - - - * running rigging

                     (do we want this header, since it's just a 
                     nuisance to put sails in subheaders under 
                     it (which we didn't do, you'll notice)
                    (Maybe if I could think of more things to
                     list under standing rigging, I'd like to
                     have separate "standing" and "running" headers?)

3.2 Ship's Machinery

3.2.3 bilge pumps

Electric Bilge Pump

Jabsco Water Puppy (Model 18660-0121).

Specs:

Body	Bronze
Impeller	Neoprene
Voltage	12 Vdc
Amp Draw	8 amp
Fuse Size	15 amp
Port Type	1/2" Internal Pipe Threads
Dimensions	3 x 4-3/4 x 6-3/8 inches (7.6 x 12.0 x 16.2 cms)
Weight	4-1/2 lb (2 kg)

This pump is mounted on the port side of the stern lazarette. A white, corregated plastic, 3/4" I.D. hose leads from the bilge to the pump. A white, corregated plastic, 5/8" I.D. hose leads from the pump to a through-hull port on the starboard side near the stern. Note that this is the same port used by the manual bilge pump.

More information can be found in the Jabsco Water Puppy Technical Data Sheet

As of 8/30/2007, this pump is not yet installed. --Ted 13:48, 30 August 2007 (EDT)
