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 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 your 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.
Bilge
Bilge
The bilge of your Pathfinder should always be checked before and after a launch. While
checking the bilge, note that a small amount of water in the bilge is normal. However, a
large amount of water or any signs of fuel or oil requires immediate attention.
If such a
situation exists, the boat should be taken to a certified marine technician
immediately. Never pump fuel or oil overboard while your boat is in the
water.
Large quantities of water in the bilge may be an indication of a leak or that the bilge
pump and/or automatic float switch is not functioning properly due to a jam, clog or
