Fuel-Water Separator & Drain
Fuel-Water Separator
Each Pathfinder 2200TRS is equipped with one 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 starboard wall of your center 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 counterclockwise 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.

areas of high humidity where water in fuel supplies is a problem or
extensive engine operation occurs, more frequent replacement
