🔍 Key Concepts

• Bilge well access and cleaning procedures when normal pumping and backflushing do not work • Risks of adding chemicals or oil products to bilge systems (pollution, fire, equipment damage) • Difference between changing pumps/lines and physically clearing a blockage at the bilge well

💭 Think About

• If a bilge cannot be pumped and backflushing failed, what does this tell you about where the blockage most likely is? • Which option best reflects a safe, controlled method to remove accumulated solids and clear the obstruction at its source, rather than just moving the liquid? • Which choices would introduce additional hazards (pollution, stability, fire risk, or equipment misuse) instead of directly solving the blockage problem?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option involves directly dealing with the obstruction in the bilge well itself, not just moving water around it • Eliminate any option that creates unnecessary stability risk (intentional list) or adds chemicals/oil to the bilge • Verify which choice aligns with normal good seamanship and safety practice for a stubborn bilge blockage when pumps and backflush have failed
