charge of oil from a bilge area is illegal and is subject to a fine. The Federal Water Pollution
Control Act prohibits the discharge of oil or oily waste into or upon the navigable waters of
the United States or the waters of the contiguous zone if such discharge causes a film or
sheen upon, or a discoloration of the surface of the water, or causes a sludge or emulsion
beneath the surface of the water. Violators are subject to a penalty of $10,000.
During the first few months of operation, inspect the bilge area for small bits of foam left-
over from the boat’s construction. These small bits may wash into the bilge over time and
be drawn into the bilge pump, thereby clogging it. The pump should be periodically checked
and cleaned to ensure proper operation.

On the 225EX the forward fishbox drains through the hull and the aft livewell drains overboard through the
transom. There is a standpipe and strainer installed in the livewell drain to regulate the height of the water
level. The livewell drains through a hose connected to a thru hull fitting in the transom. To completely drain
the livewell, remove the standpipe and allow the water to drain overboard. A diagram of the raw water
system is included in the Appendix.

There are small holes drilled into the bottom of the half-tower frame to facilitate the removal of any water
that might inadvertently get into the structure. These should be periodically checked, especially during
freezing weather, as trapped water could freeze, expand, and damage the top.

The 225EX is equipped with a midship sump box that is connected to the cabin liner drain. All water from
the optional cabin shower is drained into the sump box and pumped overboard automatically. The sump
box is equipped with a strainer to collect any foreign material that may inadvertently fall into the drain and
damage the pump. Periodically this strainer must be cleaned to remove any material that may have
collected in the drain system. To clean the strainer, first remove the potti-box assembly from the aft cabin
liner bulkhead, then remove the four screws that hold the top of the sump box in place, remove strainer
from sump box, clean and reassemble in reverse order.
