All water drains from your EdgeWater 225EX by gravity. Your boat is self-bailing at rest. It is important to
check drains frequently to make sure they are clear and free flowing. Review the schematic in the Appendix
and become familiar with the location of each thru-hull drain.

Essential tasks must be done periodically to maintain boat’s ability to drain in adverse conditions.
•
Clean cockpit drains to remove debris or other foreign objects which could prevent boat from
draining properly.
•
Check bilge area for debris and foreign material, which can cause automatic switches to
malfunction.
•
Flush drains to keep free flowing and clean.

Your EdgeWater 225EX drains aft thru two cockpit drains located in the aft corners
of the cockpit. These exit the boat through the transom, using hoses to pass through
the aft storage areas. The deck also drains thru a midship drain located forward of
the seating area. This exits thru the starboard side of the hull. These drains should
be checked periodically to make sure they are clear running and free from debris.
When washing the boat down, after use, use a hose nozzle with a high pressure
stream to make sure they are free flowing.

Your EdgeWater 225EX has a hull bilge where the raw water pump and automatic
bilge pump are located. The bilge pump is designed with an internal float so
that it automatically turns on if the water in the sump rises, or it may also be
activated by a momentary switch on the panel. This pump should be periodically
checked to make sure it is working properly and that the drain screen is clear.
To check the pump, squeeze the pump sides and lift it from the base, which is
fastened to the hull. The screen will be easily seen and if there is debris, it may
be cleaned and replaced. Replace the pump assembly and check its operation
by turning on the momentary switch on the helm switch panel.
When the boat is out of the water it may be drained by a thru hull drain located at the bottom of the
transom. This drain has a brass plug that may be removed with a ½” wrench. This plug should be periodically
checked for tightness.
Note: The bilge sump area should be checked for oil before operating the bilge pump. The dis-
