bilge draining system is operated when the
engine is running. When excess water reach-
es the water inlet of the electric bilge pump,
the water is discharged via the exhaust pas-

A small quantity of water will remain in the
bilge and should be drained manually. To
drain any residual water, beach the watercraft

To drain water from the bilge:
(1) Remove the stern drain plugs.
(2) Raise the bow of the watercraft until the
water drains.
(3) After the water has drained, wipe the
bilge with dry rags to make sure that it is
thoroughly dry.
(4) Install the stern drain plugs.
