9.4 Bilge Drainage
The bilge pumps are activated both manually by
switches in the helm switch panel and automati-
cally by switches near each pump in the bilge.
The automatic switches remain activated when the
battery switches are in the OFF position and the
batteries are connected. All bilge pumps pump
water out of thru-hull fittings located above the
waterline in the hull.
Notice:
See Electrical Systems for additional infor-
mation on bilge pump operation.
When the boat is out of the water the bilge can be
drained by a garboard drain located in the transom
near the bottom of the hull. The plug should be
removed whenever the boat is hauled out of the
water and installed just prior to launching. It is
important to check the drain plug regularly to
make sure it is tight.
A LOOSE DRAIN PLUG WILL ALLOW SEAWATER TO ENTER THE
BILGE AND COULD CAUSE THE BOAT TO TAKE ON ENOUGH
WATER TO DAMAGE EQUIPMENT OR ENDANGER THE CREW. IT
IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CHECK THE DRAIN PLUG FREQUENTLY
TO ENSURE IT IS PROPERLY TIGHTENED.
Important:
Any oil spilled in the bilge must be thoroughly
removed and properly disposed of before op-
erating the bilge pump. The discharge of oil
from the bilge is illegal and 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.
9.5 Fishbox, Livewell and
Storage Compartment Drains
Aft Fishbox
The aft fishbox drains by gravity to a thru-hull
fitting in the hull.
Livewell
The livewell drain is drained by gravity to a thru-
hull fitting in the hull. The overflow drains to the
livewell drain system.
Lounge Seat Storage Compartment
The storage compartment below the lounge seat
is drained by gravity to the cockpit.
9.6 Cabin Drainage
Shower and Cabin Drain Sump Pump
The sump system is equipped with a strainer,
centrifugal pump and automatic float switch. It
is activated whenever the House battery switch is
ON. The Shower Sump switch in the helm switch
panel overrides the automatic switch and provides
a means to manually activate the sump pump.
Always make sure the House battery switch is
activated before using the shower or cabin sinks.
After showering, it is important to let the cold
water flow for a period of time to flush the drain-
age system of soap residue. Make sure to inspect
the sump system regularly and keep the sump
components and strainer screen clean.
The sump pump is located in the forward bilge
below a hatch in the cabin sole. The teak and
