Note: Before operating the overboard discharge pump, make
certain the Y-valve and seacock are open to prevent damage to
the check valves (duckbill valves).
6 . 8 . DRAINAGE SYSTEM
The drainage system (see Figure 6-10) consists of the forward,
mid, and aft bilge pumps, the shower sump, the cockpit floor
drains, the head sink drain, shower drain, air conditioning
condensate drains, hatch drains, fish box drains, and the engine
room air intake plenum drains.
The bilge pumps and shower sump areas need to be checked,
before leaving the boat, for debris that might clog the pump.
The float switches must also be checked to see that they are
turning the pumps on and off properly. To check, just lift the
float until the pump comes on, and lower until it stops. If they
are not working, do not leave your boat unattended until they
are fixed.
The other hoses should only need to be checked every other
month to be sure that they are draining properly. If clogged,
pressurized water should be sufficient to clear.
