Fuel-Water Separator & Drain
Fuel-Water Separator
Each Pathfinder 2005 TRS is equipped with a fuel water
separator to ensure maximum performance and protect the
outboard engine from contaminated gasoline. The fuel separator
is a metal, cylindrical unit secured to the transom section of
your starboard aft rigging box.
The fuel separator can be checked by removing it from the
mounting bracket in the rigging locker and dumping it into an
approved waste collection device. If there appears to be an
excessive amount of water, the filter component should be
changed. See your authorized Pathfinder dealer for replacement
parts.
Garboard Drain Plug
The garboard drain plug is the small metal plug located at
the lowest point on the hull, at the bottom of the transom
right above the keel. The drain has been designed so that it
can be loosened by hand while the hull is out of the water
for draining. This allows the plug to stay in contact with the
surrounding frame so you’ll never misplace or lose it. You
can completely remove the insert by pulling back and
continue turning in a counter-clockwise motion. It is
manufactured with a rubber seal in place to ensure your
bilge is watertight. Always make sure before putting the
boat in the water that this plug is hand tightened firmly. Excess water in the bilge may
be an indication of a problem with this plug or the automatic bilge pump.

operation and every 50 hours or every 6 months thereafter. In
areas of high humidity where water in fuel supplies is a problem or
extensive engine operation occurs, more frequent replacement
