350 SPORT YACHT

An optional air-dome style automatic switch is
mounted on the forward engine bilge bulkhead. It
activates an alarm if the bilge water level rises
above the normal operating range of the bilge pump
automatic switches. The alarm switch is connected
to the house battery and is protected by a “push
to reset” breaker located in the battery switch
panel. It remains activated when the battery
switches are in the “OFF” position and the bat-
teries are connected.
When the boat is out of the water, the bilge can
be drained by a thru-hull drain located in the hull
near the transom. 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 SINK. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CHECK
THE DRAIN PLUG FREQUENTLY TO ENSURE IT
IS PROPERLY TIGHTENED.
Note: See Electrical Systems for additional in-
formation on bilge pump operation.
Note: Any oil spilled in the bilge must be thor-
oughly removed and properly disposed
of before operating 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.
7.3 Cockpit and Deck Drains
Scuppers and Hatches
Water is drained from the cockpit through the
transom door opening and the drain system for
the engine compartment hatch. The engine com-
partment hatch is equipped with a gutter that
drains the water to the swim platform and then
overboard. A scupper drain on the port side of
the hatch drains water to an overboard thru-hull
fitting in the starboard hull side. A flap built into
the scupper drain fitting on side of the hull re-
duces the surge of sea water through the scup-
per and into the cockpit.
Water is channeled away from the engine com-
partment day hatch by a gutter system. The
water then drains to the swim platform and then
overboard.
Wet Bar Sink Drains
The sink and ice maker are drained by gravity to a
thru-hull fitting in the hull side. These drains
should be flushed out periodically to keep them
clean and free flowing.
Bridge Deck and Cockpit Storage Compart-
ments
The storage boxes, located below the cockpit
lounge seats, are drained by gravity to the cock-
pit deck. Water drains from the bridge deck to the
stern cockpit and then overboard through the en-
gine compartment hatch drain system.
Rope Locker Drains
The rope locker drains overboard through a fitting
in the starboard hull side. It is important to in-
spect the drain frequently to remove any accu-
mulated debris.
