Zodiac recommends the use of a tarpaulin or mooring cover in order
to prevent water ingress in the event of rain.
The bilge pump system is not designed to keep in check water coming
from a breach in the hull. It is the owner's responsibility to have at least
one bailer on board with a system to prevent its accidental loss.
