7/Drainage System
7.1 General
All non-bilge water drains from your EdgeWater 388CC by gravity. Your boat is self-bailing at
rest and it is important to check all 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.
7.2 Cockpit Drains
Your EdgeWater 388CC drains through four cockpit drains located at the aft deck area. The
deck is designed to take water and drain it overboard. When washing the boat down after use,
use a hose nozzle with a high-pressure stream to make sure the drain troughs are clear of debris
and free running.
7.3 Transom Bilge
Your EdgeWater 388CC’s transom bilge is located in the mechanical access space. The aft
bilge pump is designed with an electronic sensor that automatically turns the pump on if the water
in the bilge rises, or the aft bilge switch on the helm switch panel may also activate it. 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, unscrewing the garboard plugs located at
the bottom of the transom and forward “step” areas drain any excess water that may intrude. The
plugs may be removed with a ½” wrench. The plugs should be periodically checked for tightness.
Note: The bilge sump area should be checked for oil before operating the bilge pump. The
discharge of oil from a bilge area is illegal and is subject to a fine. The Federal Water
Pollution Control Act prohibits the discharge of oil or oily waste into or upon the navigable
waters of the United States or the waters of the contiguous zone if such discharge causes a film or
sheen upon, or a discoloration of the surface of the water, or causes a sludge or emulsion beneath
the surface of the water. Violators are subject to a penalty of $10,000.
7.4 Locker & Fishbox Drains
On the 388CC there is a forward anchor locker that drains directly through the hull. The forward
and aft fishboxes are drained to diaphragm pumps that are controlled by the fishbox pumpout
switches on the helm switch panel. An overboard discharge valve is located in the midship bilge,
(interior console aft wall), for the forward fishbox. Access to the aft pumps is through the
mechanical access hatch located on the aft deck floor, and access to the forward pump is behind
the console storage drawer unit on the lower forward wall. A diagram of the raw water system is
included in the Appendix.
7.5 Amidships Bilge & Console Sump
Your EdgeWater 388CC has a midship bilge where an automatic pump and two overboard
discharge valves (holding tank and fishbox drain) are located, along with a console sump. The
forward bilge switch on the helm switch panel also controls the sump. Access to the bilge and
valves is through an access door located on the lower aft wall inside the console. This pump
