FUEL-WATER SEPARATOR & DRAIN PLUG
Fuel/Water Separator (above)
Fuel-Water Separator
Each Pathfinder 2300 HPS is equipped with a
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
transom section of your starboard 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.
Maintenance Note
In addition, the fuel separator should be changed as part of routine maintenance at 20, 50 and 100 hours
checks.
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 to 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 counter clockwise motion.
It is manufactured with a rubber seal in place to ensure
you 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. Refer
to page 12
of this Owner’s Manual for information on your
boats bilge system.
