Cup Holder Drains
All cup holders in the helm and cockpit areas drain

Anchor Locker Drain
The anchor locker drains overboard thru a small
drain hole in the bottom of the locker. It is im-
portant to inspect the drain frequently to remove
any accumulated debris.
9.7 Drainage System Maintenance
It is essential that the following items be done
periodically to maintain proper drainage of your
boat:
• Clean the cockpit drain rails with a hose to
remove debris that can block water drainage.
• Clean the hardtop leg drain holes. This is
especially important just before winter lay-
up.
• Clean the bilge pump strainer of debris and
check the bilge for foreign material that can
cause the automatic switch to malfunction.
• Frequently test the automatic bilge pump
switch for proper operation.
• Flush all gravity drains with fresh water to keep
them clean and free owing.
• Clean and flush the fishbox, coolers and
storage boxes with soap or a bilge cleaner and
fresh water after each use to keep them clean
and fresh.
• Operate all seacock valves at least once a
month to keep them operating properly.
