TECHNICAL DATA: BILGE STRUM BOX OR EQUIVALENT • The bilge suction line is normally fitted with a perforated strum box around the suction which prevents cargo debris from entering the bilge line • This is not to be confused with a strainer plate on top of the bilge well (see photos) • Some bilges are provided with a two-compartment system: one bilge well with a perforated cover (strainer) and one with a full cover. Between the two compartments there is an opening to allow water to overflow, which can also be fitted with a perforated plate to prevent debris from entering the bilge line ISSUE WHEN NO PROTECTION IS FITTED • When no protection is provided for the bilge suction, any debris can enter the suction line and cause clogging (impair suction) or get stuck in the non-return system on the bilge line (cause backflow) IMCS BVBA – SHIP INSPECTION DEPARTMENT – [email protected] - WWW.IMCS-GROUP.COM PAGE 1/2 AMVP INSPECTION MANUAL BILGE STRUM BOX OR EQUIVALENT MISSING WHAT KIND OF FEEDBACK IS EXPECTED?

    Boat Information Book (Bib) for Navy 44 Mk Ii Sail

    BOAT INFORMATION BOOK (BIB) FOR NAVY 44 MK II SAIL TRAINING CRAFT AT THE UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY SECOND EDITION April 15, 2017 Revision 4 April 30, 2020 FORWARD ____________________________________________________________________________ SCOPE The Boat Information Book (BIB) for the Navy 44 MK II is published by the Vanderstar Chair and issued by the Director of Naval Academy Sailing as the model manager for this Sail Training Craft (STC). The BIB contains information on the boat systems, performance data and operating procedures required for safe and effective operations. It should be used in conjunction with the system owner’s manuals where available. However, it is not a substitute for sound judgment. Compound emergencies, available facilities, adverse weather or sea conditions, or considerations affecting the lives and property of others may require modification of the procedures contained herein. Read this BIB from cover to cover prior to embarking. It’s your responsibility to have a complete knowledge of its contents. The bottom line, however, is that you use your best deductive reasoning for each unique situation and THINK as you employ this BIB. AVAILABILITY OF THIS PUBLICATION The BIB will be distributed on each Navy 44 MK II as part of the publication loadout. It is your responsibility to ensure that it’s onboard. It will also be posted online on the Navy Sailing website and on the USNA Intranet Blackboard for midshipmen, faculty and staff who are granted access to this program. REVISIONS This is the second edition, fourth revision of the BIB for the Navy 44 MK II. New changes are summarized in a revision log.
