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 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 PO-
TENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO THE BOAT AND YOUR CREW. IF THIS OCCURS, DISTRIB-
UTE PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES TO THE CREW AND TAKE ALL NECESSARY
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, INCLUDING NOTIFYING THE COAST GUARD, UNTIL THE PROB-
LEM 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.
7.4 Bilge Drainage
The bilge pumps are located in the stern bilge and under the aft berth. All bilge pumps pump water out of
thru-hulls located above the waterline in the hull.
Each bilge pump system consists of two pumps and an automatic float switch. The float switch activates one
pump that is fully automatic. There is no manual switch for this pump. "Push to reset" breakers near the battery
switches activate the automatic float switches. Current is supplied whenever the batteries are connected. The
bilge pump switches in the helm activate the manual bilge pumps. The float switches do not activate them
automatically. The manual switches are supplied current when the house battery switch is activated. It is
protected by a breaker on the helm breaker panel.
