FISHBOX DRAINAGE
The fishbox below the cockpit floor is drained overboard by a macerator pump-out system. The macerator
is activated by a momentary switch located in a switch panel in the cockpit below the gunwale. The fishboxes
should be flushed out and cleaned after each use.
The macerator discharge pump can only be run dry for a few seconds. Allowing the macerator pump to run
after the fishbox is empty may cause damage to the pump.
COCKPIT DRAINAGE
Your Pursuit has two scupper drains located in the rear of the cockpit. Water is channeled away from all hatches
by a gutter or drain rail system. The water then drains overboard through the scupper drain system.
The scuppers are equipped with ball valves that are always open under normal operating conditions. The
valves are accessed through hatches located in the stern. In the event of an emergency, the valves can be closed
to prevent sea water from entering the boat through the scupper drainage system.
COOLER AND COMPARTMENT DRAINAGE
The cooler located under the seat drains by gravity to overboard thru-hulls located in the hull sides just above
the waterline. The rope locker drains overboard through a special drain fitting located in the hull side at the
bottom of the rope locker. It is important to inspect the drain frequently to remove any accumulated debris.
CABIN DRAINAGE
A drain plug in the cabin sole is provided to drain water that may accumulate on the cabin floor. This plug
keeps the aft bilge isolated from the cabin and should be removed only to drain water from the cabin floor
and be reinstalled when the draining is complete.
TO KEEP THE CABIN FREE OF FUMES, VAPORS AND WATER, ALWAYS REPLACE AND
PROPERLY SECURE THE DRAIN PLUG IN THE CABIN SOLE AFTER DRAINING.
5.5 Plumbing Systems Maintenance
WATER SYSTEMS
Information supplied with water system components, by the equipment manufacturers, is included with this
manual. Refer to this information for additional operation and service data.
The following items should be done routinely to maintain your fresh water system:
• Remove the filter screens from the faucet spouts and eliminate any accumulation of debris. A build-up
of debris can cause the pump to cycle excessively.
• The fresh water system strainer should be checked at least annually and cleaned as necessary.
• Periodically spray the pumps and metal components with a metal protector.
• The batteries must be properly maintained and charged. Operating the pressure pump from a battery with
a low charge could lead to pump failure.
