If the low side bilge pump fails and the high side bilge pump has insufficient suction to dewater the low side of the COASTAL DRILLER when afloat, you should use the __________.

Correct Answer: Option B — saltwater eductor system

Saltwater eductors utilize the Venturi effect to create suction, allowing for the dewatering of low-side spaces where standard centrifugal pumps may lose prime or lack sufficient head. This system is a critical redundant dewatering tool for MODUs when primary bilge pumps are ineffective due to vessel list or trim.
