I am still going through all the systems on our newly acquired Albin 43 Sundeck. I was checking the bilge pumps and have only found one bilge and pump. There is a sump pit with it's own pump that serves the two showers on board. if this pump fails it would over flow to the main bilge that is served by a pump and alarmed. I tested both pumps and alarms and they all checked out.
My question for those that have Albin 43's should there be at least another bilge sump equipped with a pump? I have been from one end to another and cannot find another bilge or pump. The bilge I did find was just aft of the forward stateroom. I checked the engine room and could not find a bilge pit although it has drainage that appears to drain forward or aft. I checked the master aft stateroom however with the water tanks under the bed I can't see anything there nor can I imagine they would have located it there due to accessibility.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
