Drainage Systems
Forward Cockpit Fishbox
The forward storage compartment below the cock-
pit sole is drained overboard by diaphragm pump
in the forward bilge below the berth in the cabin.
The pump out system is activated by the Fish Box
switch in the helm switch panel.
Monitor the water level as the pump drains the
shbox and turn it off immediately when draining
is complete. The pump could be damaged if it is
allowed to run dry for extended periods.
The hatch drain rail drains by gravity to a thru-hull
tting in the hull side.
Rod Lockers
The rod lockers on each side of the cockpit drain
by gravity to the cockpit sole.
Rope Locker
The rope locker drains overboard thru a drain in
the bottom of the locker and a thru-hull tting
in the hull side near the bow. It is important to
inspect the drain frequently to remove any ac-
cumulated debris.
Console Lounge Storage Compartment/
Cooler
The forward storage compartment below the con-
sole lounge seat is drained by gravity to the cockpit
through a tting in the side of the seat base.
9.3 Hardtop & Tower Drains
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.
9.4 Bilge Drainage
The bilge pumps are activated both manually by
switches in the helm switch panel and automati-
cally by switches near each pump in the bilge.
The automatic switches remain activated when the
battery switches are in the OFF position and the
house batteries are connected. All bilge pumps
pump water out of thru-hull ttings located above
the waterline in the hull.
