We regularly pressure test each fuel system when it is initially received at the factory
and until it leaves the factory as a component on a new boat. Should you experience any
fuel related problems or suspect problems with the fuel system, immediately take your
boat to your local Pathfinder dealer.
Self-Bailing Cockpit & Livewell
Self-Bailing Cockpit
The cockpit on the Pathfinder 2600 HPS is designed to be self-bailing, meaning that all
the water that comes into the cockpit will be directly drained overboard. This keeps the
boat from acquiring standing water and allows the boat to drain at all times, including
while the boat is docked.
Water drains out of the cockpit through the two aft cockpit drains located at each of the
back corners of the cockpit. The drains run water via hoses out of the sides of the hull.
None of this water is drained into the bilge. Refer to page 12 for operation of the ball
valve associated with this system.
The bilge is designed to drain any water entering the inside of the hull. Livewell and
cockpit drains are closed systems that flush water out the drain scuppers in the stern. All
hoses are sealed and double clamped during construction. Continuous or periodic
running of the automatic bilge pump may be an indication of a hose leak or break in a
seal and should be investigated by a Pathfinder Dealer immediately. Refer to page 10 for
further information regarding bilge pump operation and maintenance.
DANGER:
Do not smoke while filling the tank. Be sure to turn off the engines
and all electrical equipment when fueling the boat to prevent
accidental discharges of static electricity. Use only the
recommended gasoline (see Yamaha Owner’s Manual). Do not
use fuels with alcohol or alcohol related derivatives that can
cause marine fuel system hoses to deteriorate.
