DRAINAGE SYSTEMS
7.1 Cockpit Drainage
Your Denali has two scupper drains located on each side of the hull
near the waterline to provide drainage for the cockpit. Water is
channeled away from all opening hatches by a gutter or drain rail
system. The water then drains overboard through the scuppers.
The scupper drain thru-hull fittings are equipped with PVC ball valves that are always open under
normal operating conditions. The valves are accessed through hatches located in the stern. In
the event of an emergency, the valves can be closed to prevent seawater from entering the boat
through the drainage system. It is important to check and operate the drain valves at least
annually to make sure they are in good condition and operating properly. Also 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.
Please review the drainage schematic to become familiar with the location of the thru-hull drain
valves.
7.2 Radar Arch and Hardtop Drainage
There is a hole drilled in one of the leg bases to prevent water from being trapped within the leg
and provide a wire chase for accessories. A small hole is drilled in the tubing at the base of legs
that are not drilled for a wire chase, to allow water to drain.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE LEG DRAIN HOLES ARE CLEAR WHEN THE BOAT IS
LAID UP FOR THE WINTER. WATER TRAPPED INSIDE THE RADAR ARCH LEGS
COULD FREEZE AND CAUSE THE LEGS TO SPLIT.
