DRAINAGE SYSTEMS
7.1 General
All water is drained by gravity to overboard thru hull fittings located in the hull sides above the
waterline. The cabin and some cockpit component drain thru hull fittings are equipped with PVC
ball valves that are always open under normal operating conditions. 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 Hard-Top 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.
