NOTICE
• The deck drain provides self bailing capabilities while boat is static in the water and no
passengers. This feature prevents accumulation of water in the cockpit.
• Depending on the boat type, underwater fittings may require drain plugs. Garboard and fishbox
drain plugs must be in place before boat enters the water. Any submerged fitting must be
plugged or seacock needs to be closed.
• Check thru-hull fittings and deck drain scupper flaps annually for proper seal. When boat enters
the water, check fittings for dripping. Clean, remove, and reseal underwater fittings bi-annually.
• Contact an authorized Boston Whaler dealer if thru-hull fittings need replacing. Improperly
installed fittings can cause premature hull failure and may void the Boston Whaler warranty.
• A standard 1” Snap-tite plug can be used to replace the drain plug(s) in this vessel. Always carry
spare plugs to be used in the event that the drain plug(s) become lost or damaged.
