DRAINAGE SYSTEMS
9.1 General
All 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. Please review the drainage schematic
to become familiar with the location of the drain
thru-hull ttings.
9.2 Cockpit and Deck Drainage
Cockpit Scupper Drains
Your Everglades has four scupper drains located in
the rear of the cockpit below a small hatch. The
scuppers drain to thru-hull ttings in each trim tab
well to 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
overboard through the scupper drain system.
Work Station Sink Drains
The work station sink is drained by gravity to a
thru-hull tting in the hull side.
Work Station Livewell
The livewell drain is drained by gravity to a thru-
hull tting in the hull. The overow drains to the
livewell drain system.
Cup Holder Drains
All cup holders in the helm and cockpit areas drain
by gravity to the cockpit sole.
Bow Storage Compartments and Rod
lockers
The storage compartments below the bow seats
and the rod lockers are drained by gravity to the
bilge.
Rope Locker Drain
The rope locker drains overboard thru a drain
hole in the bottom of the locker. It is important
to inspect the drain frequently to remove any ac-
cumulated debris.
