The purpose of this event is to evaluate the team’s ability operate the USCG P-6 SAR pump.

1. The team will be provided with a USCG P-6 SAR Pump Kit at the starting line. The kit will be fully packaged in the SAR pump can with the lid and locking ring in place. The pump kit will already be filled with gasoline and base oil.
2. On the judge’s signal the timing is started, the pump kit will be carried from the starting line to the operating zone.
3. The pump kit will be unpacked, assembled (including the nozzle), the basket strainer of the suction hose will be placed in the water and the engine started.
4. Once started, the nozzle on the hose will be used to fill to the discharge chute on the can target located in the operating zone. Please note that the filling of the can will continue until the operation is completed to the satisfaction of the judges.
5. Once the can has been filled to the discharge chute, the team will then shut down the pump, drain the hoses, repack the pump kit, and carry it back to the starting line.
6. When the pump is properly packed and back to the starting line, the judges will stop timing and the event is over for that team.
