DRAINAGE SYSTEMS
7.1 General
All water is drained by gravity to overboard thru hull fittings located in the hull sides above the
waterline. Some of the drain thru hull fittings are equipped with PVC ball valves that are always
open under normal operating conditions. Most drains are connected to the thru hull valves. In
the event of an emergency, the valves can be closed to prevent sea water from entering the boat
through the drainage system. It is important to check and operate the drain valves at least
annually to make sure they are in good condition and operating properly. You also should check
the drain system frequently to ensure it is free flowing and that the hoses on the thru hull fittings
are secure and not leaking. Please review the drainage schematic to become familiar with the
location of the thru hull drain valves.
SITUATIONS REQUIRING ONE OR MORE DRAIN VALVES TO BE CLOSED CAN BE
POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO THE BOAT AND YOUR CREW. IF THIS OCCURS,
DISTRIBUTE PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES TO THE CREW AND TAKE ALL
NECESSARY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, INCLUDING NOTIFYING THE COAST
GUARD, UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FOUND AND CORRECTED.
7.2 Cockpit Drains
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.
7.3 Hardtop and Radar Arch Drains
There is a hole drilled in one of the leg bases to prevent water from being trapped within the leg
and provide a wire chase for accessories. A small hole is drilled in the tubing at the base of the
other legs, which are not drilled for a wire chase, that allows water to drain.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE LEG DRAIN HOLES ARE CLEAR WHEN THE BOAT
IS LAID UP FOR THE WINTER. WATER TRAPPED INSIDE THE LEGS COULD
FREEZE AND CAUSE THE LEGS TO SPLIT.
