Garboard Drain Plug
When the boat is out of the water the bilge can be
drained by a garboard drain located in the tran-
som at the bottom of the hull. The plug should
be removed whenever the boat is hauled out of
the water and installed just prior to launching. It
is important to check the drain plug regularly to
make sure it is tight.

There is a hole drilled in the leg bases on hardtop
frame to prevent water from being trapped within
the legs. Additional drain holes are drilled in the

Always make sure the drain holes are clear when

inside the legs and frame could freeze and cause
the legs to split.

If your boat is equipped with this option, all sinks
and the head compartment sole are drained by
the sump system which pumps waste water to the

compartment bilge.
The uid level in the waste/grey water holding
tank is monitored by a lighted LED symbol in the
toilet control panel in the head compartment. The
symbol lighted green indicates the waste tank is
