DRAINAGE SYSTEMS
9.1 General
Most water is drained by gravity to overboard thru-
hull ttings located in the hull above the water line.
It is important to check the drain system frequently
to ensure it is free owing and that the hoses on
the thru-hull ttings are secure and not leaking.
9.2 Cockpit & Deck Drainage
Cockpit Scupper Drains
Your Everglades has two scupper drains located
in the rear of the cockpit. Stainless steel strain-
ers prevent large debris from clogging the drains.
Check valves in each scupper drain thru-hull tting
reduce the surge of seawater through the scup-
pers and into the cockpit while maneuvering or in
rough water.
Water is channeled away from all hatches by a
gutter or drain rail system. The water then drains
overboard through the cockpit drain system.
Aft Systems Compartment Hatch
The aft systems compartment hatch drain gutters
drain by gravity to a thru-hull tting in the hull.
Aft Fishbox
The shbox drains by gravity to a thru-hull tting
in the hull.
Baitwells
The baitwells are drained by gravity to thru-hull t-
tings in the hull. The overows drain to the baitwell
drain systems.
Cup Holders
All cup holders in the helm and cockpit areas drain
by gravity to the cockpit sole.
Bow Storage Compartments
The storage compartments below the port and
starboard bow seats are drained by gravity to the
cockpit sole.
