DRAINAGE SYSTEMS
9.1 General
All water is drained by gravity to overboard thru-
hull fittings located in the hull. It is important to
check the drain system frequently to ensure it is
free flowing and that the hoses on the thru-hull
fittings are secure and not leaking.
9.2 Cockpit & Deck Drainage
Cockpit Drains
Your boat has two scupper drains located in the
rear of the cockpit. Check valves in each scupper
drain thru-hull fitting reduce the surge of seawater
through the scuppers and into the cockpit while
maneuvering or in rough water.
Water is channeled away from all hatches by a
gutter or drain rail system. The water then drains
overboard through the overboard drain system.
Cup Holder Drains
All cup holders in the helm and cockpit areas drain
by gravity to the cockpit sole or to the bilge.
Rope Locker Drain
The rope locker drains overboard thru a drain
hole in the bottom of the locker. It is important
to inspect the drain frequently to remove any ac-
cumulated debris.
Cockpit and Forward Air Conditioners
The air conditioning condensation pans are drained
by a hose attached to the pan that drains the water
to the drain sump system.
Bow Storage Compartments
The storage compartments/coolers below the bow
seats are drained overboard by gravity to thru-hull
fittings in the hull. Drain plugs for each compart -
ment drain fitting are used to control drainage
when the compartments are used as coolers.
Cockpit Galley Drains
The sink and refrigerator or ice maker are drained
by gravity to a thru-hull drain sump system.
