3000 EXPRESS
7.2 Cockpit Drains
Your Pursuit has two scupper drains located in the rear of the cockpit. Water is channeled away
from all hatches by a gutter or drain rail system. The water then drains overboard through the
scupper drain system.
7.3 Hardtop and Radar Arch Drains
There is a hole drilled in one of the leg bases to prevent water from being trapped within the leg
and provide a wire chase for accessories. A small hole is drilled in the tubing at the base of the other
legs, which are not drilled for a wire chase, that allows water to drain.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE LEG DRAIN HOLES ARE CLEAR WHEN THE BOAT IS LAID
UP FOR THE WINTER. WATER TRAPPED INSIDE THE LEGS COULD FREEZE AND
CAUSE THE LEGS TO SPLIT.
7.4 Bilge Drainage
The bilge pumps are activated both manually, by a
switch in the helm station, and automatically, by float
switches located next to the pumps in the bilge. The
automatic float switches are protected by circuit breakers
located on the Power Station and remain activated
when the battery switches are in the “OFF” position
and the batteries are connected. All bilge pumps pump
water out of thru hulls located above the waterline in
the hull. The rear bilge pump and automatic switch are
located near the transom, below the stern fishbox, and
the forward pump and automatic switch are located in
the engine room.
Note: See Electrical Systems for additional information on bilge pump operation.
When the boat is out of the water, the bilge can be drained by a thru hull drain located in the transom
near the bottom of the hull. The plug should be removed whenever the boat is hauled out of the
water and installed just prior to launching. It is important to check the drain plug regularly to make
sure it is tight.
