2017 OWNERS MANUAL /

Transom plugs should be opened only when the boat is ashore.
Removing the plugs allows additional drainage of the bilge system.
The transom plugs must always be secured tightly in place prior to
launching the boat into the water. Failure to do so will allow water
to intrude into the bilge system and may result in serious injury or
death as a result of the boat sinking.
Center drain pie-hole lids should be secured prior to boat operation.
It is possible to misdirect and cross-thread the pie-hole when
reinstalling. Retry until the lid is secure, level with the deck. Not only
can additional water from the deck intrude if the lid is not secured,
but individuals on-board may injure themselves if they misstep in
the area of the center drain.
The sea strainer should be checked before each outing. See the
Care and Maintenance section of this Owner’s Manual for details
on how to properly inspect it. As equipped, the strainer operates
the lowest point of the deck, under the rear seats. Bilge pump-out
locations are on the side of the boat. Depending on the model, the
pump-out may be on the bow or the gunnel. See Guide to Individual
Models in this Owner’s Manual to determine the location of bilge
pump-out. (They are often adjacent to ballast overflow/vents.)
Pump-outs should never be obstructed.
The bilge system is controlled by a switch on the dash panel. The
bilge pumps on all V-drive models will be in the automatic mode
when the ignition key is turned ON. Some models may have two
(2) switches, one for the forward bilge and one for the aft. In these
instances, the switches will be marked. The manual and automatic
bilge discharge system is never completely OFF. When in the au-
tomatic (default) position, a sensor alerts the system to discharge
water from the bilge area.
Boat operators are advised to leave the switch in the automatic
position, unless there appears to be excess water in the bilge as
viewed through the center plate. In that event, the bilge pump can
be manually activated by turning the bilge pump switch to the man-
automatically and does not require a switch or gauge to monitor.
Regular maintenance however is important.
SPECIAL NOTE: Because the bilge pump operates even when
the boat is shut OFF to prevent excessive water on board, if the
pump runs fairly frequently, which causes the battery(ies) to
fully discharge. This is a signal that the boat is either taking on
too much water from a leak or that the boat is being left in the
water for periods that are too long. Anytime the battery is low or
discharged, properly recharge it prior to operation.
Bilge pumps will not operate in either the manual or automatic
mode if the batteries are fully discharged. This condition may allow
excessive water in the hull, which can damage or sink the boat.
Make frequent checks of the battery charge and bilge pump func-
tion when the boats are moored and exposed to the elements.
ual ON position. Return the switch to the automatic position when
finished emptying the bilge. Leaving the switch in manual mode can
result in damage to the pump and may not be covered by warranty!
Return the bilge switch to automatic any time it has been turned to
manual to remove water from the bilge. Operators should monitor
the water level through the center drain and ensure that the bilge
pump(s) does not continue to operate after the bilge is emptied.
Note that a small amount of water in the bilge is acceptable, ex-
cept when winterizing the bilge system. Failure to follow instruc-
tions may result in damage to the bilge system, which may not be
covered under warranty!
Drain plugs should be loosened and removed when the boat is out
of the water to allow additional drainage of the bilge system. Always
ensure that the transom drain plugs have been tightened in place
prior to launching the boat into the water. Failure to do so can result
in water intruding and overwhelming the system, sinking the boat.
