Calling Live2Dive

[Capt. Art]

Mark, our boats are almost the same maybe you have an answer to this question my insurance company asked me, as I'm not 100% sure?

Is the engine room bilge a watertight section apart from the forward Staterooms? I always thought that the bilge went under both the engine room & staterooms? There are 3 bilge pumps but are two only sealed for use by the engine room or would all 3 pumps work if the engine room is taking on water? They are going to call Carver but I'm curious myself? Do you know?

ideally, engine room bilges should be sealed from the living area bilges, this way fuel or oil doens't get into the living quarters with fumes and odor.

just a common sense reply, each boat is different.

mine are sealed fore and aft with air intakes and exhaust open to eng. room vents only. Carver sealed all hoses and wire runs with clear rtv and i've done the same when adding anything. sorry about your boat going down.
