Drainage System
General
Overview
All water in the 239DFS is drained either via gravity or pump. It is either drained directly overboard or to the aft bilge where it can be drained out either
via the garboard drain plug or the bilge pump. It is important to check the drainage system frequently to verify water flows freely, hoses are secure and
there are no leaks. The drains and discharge pump are as follows starting at the bow:
Anchor Locker – Gravity drain along centerline of hull to aft bilge
Center Bow Locker, Port Bow Locker and Passenger Console Sink Drain – Gravity drains, all connected via T‐Connectors to single drain to aft bilge
Starboard Bow Locker – Gravity drain runs through starboard stringer to aft bilge
Fishbox Lip Drain – Gravity drain through port stringer to aft bilge
Fishbox Drain – Feeds directly to Fishbox Macerator Pump
Fishbox Macerator Pump – Located under convenience center sink, discharges 1‐1/8” Thru Hull on transom (See Note A)
Driver and Passenger Console Recess Drains – Gravity drains, drain directly to the bilge
Convience Center Sink Drain– Gravity drain to aft bilge
Ski Locker Drain – Gravity drain, connects via T‐Connector to Convience Center Sink Drain
Port Cockpit Drain – Gravity drain to port transom 1‐1/2” Thru Hull
Starboard Cockpit Drain – Gravity drain to starboard inboard 1‐1/2” Thru Hull
Port Transom Storage lockers– Gravity drain directly to aft bilge
Transom Livewell Overflow Drain – Gravity drain connects via T‐Connector to Transom Livewell Drain
Transom Livewell Drain – Gravity drain to starboard transom 1‐1/8” Thru Hull
Cooler Box Drain – Gravity drain to aft bilge
Aft Bilge Pump – Located in aft bilge, discharges to aft port thru hull near transom
Note A: The fishbox macerator pump is controlled by a switch and circuit breaker (See Electrical Schematics). Never run the pump dry as it will damage
the pump. The fishbox should be cleaned after every use and pumped out before storing the boat.
