Draining Your Yacht
Your yacht has drain plugs for draining water
from the bilge (See
Mechanical Layout on
Page 141, which illustrates the location of the
garboard drain plugs). Some compartments in
the bilge may not drain completely due to the
position of the yacht. Pump these compartments
out with a portable pump and then use a sponge
to remove all remaining water.
The procedure for draining and winterizing the
fresh water system is as follows:
Drain the fresh water supply tank by open-
ing the hot and cold faucets in the galley
for ten (10) minute intervals until the tank
is empty.
Open all faucets in the galley , both show-
ers, both head sinks and the exterior cockpit
shower.
Remove the fresh water filter bowl and
strainer. Clean, dry and replace strainer
bowl.
Drain the water heater and remove the cold
water intake hose and hot water output hose
and hook them together.
Remove the inlet hose from the fresh water
tank (See
Mechanical Layout which illus-
trates the location of the fresh water tank)
and insert it into a container of non-toxic,
fresh water antifreeze. Turn the fresh water
pump ON and starting at the farthest faucet

from the pump, turn ON all faucets until the
antifreeze
fl
ows out.
Turn OFF the fresh water pump and recon-
nect the inlet hose to the fresh water tank.
Pour non-toxic antifreeze into all sink and
shower drains until the liquid is discharged
overboard.
Alternate procedure for draining and winterizing
the fresh water system is as follows:
Drain all water from the fresh water tank.
Drain all water from the water heater.
Remove hose from the input side of the fresh
water pump and allow to completely drain.
Remove hose from the output side of the
fresh water pump and turn ON all faucets.
Blow compressed air (15-20 lbs. psi) through
the output hose until all water stops
fl
owing
from the faucets.
Leave water lines at the fresh water pump
disconnected to allow any trapped water
vapor to drain and evaporate.
The procedure for draining and winterizing the
marine sanitation system is as follows:
Drain all water lines into the waste holding
tank. Continue to
fl
ush fresh water into the
waste holding tank and pump out into an
approved waste facility until thoroughly
clean.
Add non-toxic, freshwater antifreeze to the
waste holding tank by
fl
ushing through the
toilet.
Run the macerator pump to allow antifreeze
