Additional automatic switches, located near each bilge pump,
sound an alarm and activate a light at the helm if the bilge
water level rises above the normal operating range of the bilge
pump automatic switches. The alarm automatic switches are
connected to the batteries. They are protected by circuit
breakers located on the engine room circuit breaker panel and
remain activated when the battery switches are in the “OFF”
position and the batteries are connected. These switches
should be tested periodically by turning the knob on the side
of the switch until the alarm sounds. You should also test the
alarm circuit with the test switch in the helm switch panel. If
the alarm does not activate, you should find and correct the
problem as soon as possible.
7.4 Cockpit and Deck Drains
Scuppers and Hatches
Your boat has two scupper drains located in the rear of the
cockpit at the transom. Flaps built into the scuppers help
reduce the surge of sea water through the scuppers and into
the cockpit.
Water is channeled away from all hatches by a gutter or drain
rail system. The water then drains overboard through fittings
in the drain rails to thru-hull fittings in the hull sides above
the waterline.
Fishbox , Livewell, Freezer and Cockpit Sink Drains
The fishbox below the cockpit floor is drained overboard by
a macerator pump out system. The macerator is activated
by a momentary switch located in helm switch panel. The
transom fishbox is drained by gravity to a thru-hull fitting in
the transom.
The livewell, cooler, bait prep sink and the bait freezer are
drained by gravity to thru-hull fittings in the hull sides. The
overflow in the livewell drain into the overboard drains. These
compartments should be flushed out and cleaned after each
use.
Note: The macerator discharge pump can only be run dry
for a couple of seconds. Allowing the macerator
pump to run after the fishbox is empty will cause
damage to the pump.
Bridge and Cockpit Storage Compartments
A storage box, located below the lounge seat, is drained by
gravity to the bridge deck. The bridge deck drains overboard
by drain rails and drains in each side of the bridge deck sole.
Rope Locker Drains
The rope locker drains to the bilge. It is important to inspect
the drains frequently to remove any accumulated debris.
7.5 Cabin Drains
The galley, head sink, and shower are drained by a sump pump
system. An automatic float switch in the sump controls the
pump. The sump pump is protected by the shower sump cir-
cuit breaker in the battery switch panel. The sump system is
activated whenever the batteries are connected to ensure the air
conditioner sumps and the shower will drain properly whenever
they are activated. After showering, let the cold water flow for
a period of time to flush the drainage system of soap residue.
The sump system is located in the forward bilge. The sump has a
removable lid to allow the system to be inspected and serviced.
It is essential that the sump system be inspected periodically
and any accumulated debris removed. Manually activate the
system to verify operation.
The drain thru-hull fittings for the sump pump and the sink
drains are equipped with ball valves that are always open under
normal operating conditions. In the event of an emergency, the
valves can be closed to prevent sea water from entering the boat
through the shower sump or drain system. It is important to
check and operate the valves at least annually to make sure they
are in good condition and operating properly. Please review
the drainage schematic to become familiar with the location of
the sump pump and gravity drain thru-hull valves.
