Drainage Systems
9.3 Head Compartment Drainage
Head Compartment Sole
The head compartment sole drains by gravity to a
sump system below the sole.
The sump pump is located below a removable grate
at the rear of the compartment sole. It is equipped
with a centrifugal pump and automatic switch. It
is activated whenever the house battery is con-
nected. The automatic switch can be overridden by
the digital switching system control feature which
provides a means to manually activate the sump
pump when necessary.
Make sure to inspect the sump system regularly
and keep the components and pump strainer clean.
Head Compartment Sink
The freshwater sink in the head compartment drains
by gravity to the sump system below the compart-
ment sole.
9.4 Hardtop
There is a hole drilled in the leg bases on the frame
to prevent water from being trapped within the legs.
Additional drain holes are drilled in the tubing to
drain other areas as required.
Always make sure the leg drain holes are clear when
the boat is laid up for the winter. Water trapped in-
side the legs could freeze and cause the legs to split.
9.5 Bilge Drainage
The bilge pumps are activated both manually by
switches in the helm switch panels and automati-
cally by switches near each pump in the bilge. The
automatic switches remain activated when the bat-
tery switches are o and the house batteries are
connected. All bilge pumps pump water out of thru-
hull ttings located above the waterline in the hull.
Notice:
See Electrical Systems for additional informa-
tion on bilge pump operation.
Bilge High Water Alarm
An additional automatic switch will sound an alarm
if the bilge water level rises above the normal oper-
ating range of the bilge pump automatic switches.
The alarm switch is connected to the batteries. It
remains activated when the battery switches are o
and the batteries are connected.
