On the 9.4, 10.2 and 10.6 models, the drain plug is
on the bow, just above the bow eye. (It is installed
at the factory) To drain the water between the deck
and hull, remove the drain plug; lift the rear of the
boat so the water will drain towards the front drain
hole. Once the water is drained, insert the drain plug
into the hole.
On the 11.3 model this drain plug is located in
the bilge, just forward of the aerator pump.
Remove
the drain plug to allow the water from the
deck and hull to drain into the bilge pump area.
Turn on the bilge pump to remove the water and
install drain plug once the water is drained from
between the deck and hull.
Electrical Power
Use a 12V Deep Cycle Marine battery (not
included), available from marine dealers, outdoor
retailers and mass merchandisers. To install, place
the battery in the battery case or tray, tie it down
using the holding strap, and connect the wires.
