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 strainers pre-
vent large debris from clogging the drains. Check
valves in scupper drain thru-hull ttings reduce the
surge of seawater through the scuppers 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 over-
board through the cockpit drain system.
Aft Systems Compartment Hatch
The aft systems compartment hatch drain gutters
drain by gravity to the cockpit drain system.
Mezzanine Cooler
Drains by gravity to thru-hull ttings in the hull.
Work Station Sink (Optional)
Drains by gravity to thru-hull ttings in the hull.
Baitwell
The baitwell drains by gravity to thru-hull ttings in
the hull. The overows drain to the baitwell drain
system.
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 bow seats are
drained by gravity to the cockpit sole.
Forward Fishbox
The forward shbox below the cockpit sole is drained
overboard by a macerator pump and seacock valve in
the forward bilge, below the head compartment sink.
The pump out system is activated by the Fishbox
Pump switch in the touch screen display.
