		+	While on water, the flotation compartments will slowly fill with water. If the compartments are not emptied, the weight of the water will cause serious performance issues during flight and on on-water operations. A bilge pump is provided with the helicopter to expel any excess water that may have accumulated. To deploy the bilge pump, click the box (<xr id='fig:bilge-box'/>) labeled "Bilge Pump" stored on the upper shelf in the storage area near the main cabin door. The main cabin door must be open to deploy the bilge pump. The bilge pump can be stowed by clicking on the box again. It is recommended that the box be kept dry at all times.

The pump intake connects to a port leading into the bilge, while the pump outtake leads overboard off the side of the aircraft. Click on the pump repeatedly to raise and lower the pump handle. Continue pumping until no additional water is flushed out the hose.

 === Anchor ===
 An anchor can be deployed to prevent the aircraft from drifting while on water.  The anchor is located in a storage area next to the main cabin door.  Click on the anchor (or anchor storage area) to deploy or stow the anchor.  The main door must be open, and the aircraft must be on water to deploy the anchor.  You can also use the chat commands "anchor" and "unanchor" to deploy or stow the anchor.
