Draining the bilge water on water
This model is equipped with a self-draining
deck and bilge pump to drain the bilge water
on water.
Self-draining deck
Most water which enters the deck area drains
automatically out the stern through the large
drain hole in the deck.
A one-way check valve in the drain prevents
water from traveling back to the deck while
the boat is moored or moving in reverse.
Bilge pump
Your boat is equipped with a drainage system
that channels water that enters the boat from
the storage compartments to the bilge under
the engine compartment. When the bilge
pump switch is turned on, the bilge pump will
detect when there is excessive water in the
bilge and will automatically drain most of it
through the bilge water outlet. For normal op-
eration, turn the bilge pump switch on during
boat use and turn it off when leaving the boat.
NOTICE:
If the boat is to be left in the water
after use, leave the bilge pump switch in
the on position. The pump will activate if
needed to drain any water accumulating in
the bilge.
