water from traveling back to the deck
during mooring or while moving in
reverse.
Bilge Pump –
Your boat is equipped with a drainage
system that channels water that enters
the boat from the storage compart-
ments to the bilge under the engine
compartment. When the bilge pump is
turned on (see page 2-14), the pump
will sense when there is excessive
water in the bilge and will automatically
drain most of it through the outlet
1
.
For normal operation, turn the bilge
pump switch on during boat use and
turn it off when leaving the boat.
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.
Drain Plug –
A drain plug is located at the center of
the stern to allow more complete drain-
ing when the boat is removed from the
water.
Engine Compartment and
Fuel Compartment Drain Plug –
Water will not normally enter the engine
compartment or fuel compartment
areas during operation. If it does, open
the drain plugs

and allow water to
drain. Also open the engine compart-
ment plug when flushing the engine
area with fresh water after salt water
operation.
●
Excessive water in the engine
compartment bilge can splash
into the air cleaner and engine.
This could cause engine dam-
age.
●
Be sure all drain plugs are tight-
ened before operating your boat.
Gasoline and its vapors are highly
flammable and explosive. If a fuel or
a fuel/water mix drains from the fuel
tank compartment drain or is found
in the engine compartment, wipe it
up immediately with dry rags. Do not
operate the boat until the source of
the fuel leak is found and corrected.
