Exterior Drains
Your Pursuit has four scupper drains located
in the rear of the cockpit. The drain rails for
the fishboxes, aft machinery space and mid -
ship mechanical space drain overboard by
gravity.
The below-floor fishboxes are equipped with
separate macerator pumps and are supplied
with drain plugs for each box. Remove the
fishbox drain plugs to allow the fishboxes to
be pumped overboard. To pump the boxes
out, activate the switches on the port and
starboard aft cockpit switch panels labeled
PORT FISHBOX and STBD FISHBOX. The
fishboxes should be flushed out and cleaned
after each use.
The exterior sink drains by gravity to over-
board thru-hulls.
The anchor locker drains overboard through
a drain fitting located in the hull side at the
bottom of the anchor locker. It is important
to inspect the drain frequently to remove any
accumulated debris.

Maintenance
Information supplied with water system com-
ponents, by the equipment manufacturers, is
included with this manual. Refer to the infor-
mation for additional operation and service
information.
Fresh Water System
CAUTION
!
Turn the DC MDP fresh water breaker
OFF when leaving the boat unattended
or when the fresh water system is not
in use.
Perform these routine maintenance proce-
dures to maintain your fresh water system:
• Remove filter screens from faucet
spouts and eliminate any accumulation
of debris. A debris build-up can cause
the pump to cycle excessively.
• Check and clean the fresh water system
strainer located on the intake line near
the pump at least annually.
• Remove the lid on the shower sump
assembly, located under the cabin floor,
periodically. Clean debris from the sump
and flush with clean water. Activate the
float switch to test the pump. Spray the
pumps and metal components with a
metal protector periodically.
• Add a commercially available potable
water conditioner to the water tank to
keep it fresh.
CAUTION
!
Maintain a proper charge on the bat-
teries. Operating the pressure pump
from a battery with a low charge could
lead to pump failure.
• Make sure the FRESH WATER breaker
on the DC MDP is switched OFF when
leaving the boat unattended or when not
in use.
The water system must be winterized before
storage. Refer to section 12, Seasonal Main-
tenance.
