7.6 Water System Drains
All exterior sinks and livewells, provided with fresh or raw water, drain by gravity to overboard thru-hulls
located in the hull sides just above the waterline. The overflows in the livewell drain into the overboard drains.
7.7 Shower and Cabin Sink Drains
The shower drains to a sump pump system located in the bilge and accessed through a hatch under the cabin
steps. The galley sink and head sink drain directly overboard through a thru-hull fitting. This fitting is
equipped with a ball valve which is accessed through the storage area underneath the head compartment sink.
An automatic float switch in the sump controls the pump. The pump is protected by the shower sump pump
circuit breaker on the cabin breaker panel. After showering, let the cold water flow for a period of time to
flush the drainage system of soap residue. The sump has a removable cover to allow the system to be inspected
and serviced. It is essential that the sump system by inspected periodically and any accumulated debris
removed.
7.8 Rope Locker Drains
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.
7.9 Drainage System Maintenance
It is essential that the following items be done periodically to maintain proper drainage of your boat:
• Clean the cockpit drain rails with a hose to remove debris that can block water drainage.
• Clean the hardtop leg drain holes. This is especially important just before winter lay-up.
• Clean the bilge pump and automatic float switch strainers of debris and check the bilge for foreign material
that can cause the automatic switch to malfunction.
• Frequently test the rear automatic bilge pump switch for proper operation. This is accomplished by
turning the test knob on the side of the switch until the pump is activated. You can also use a garden hose
to flood the bilge until the water level is high enough to activate the pump.
• Flush all gravity drains with fresh water to keep them clean and free flowing.
• Clean and inspect the shower and sink drain sump system. Remove accumulated debris and flush with
fresh water. Frequently test the automatic pump switch for proper operation.
• Clean and flush the fishbox and cooler/storage boxes with soap or a bilge cleaner and fresh water after
each use to keep them clean and fresh.
• Operate the thru-hull valves once a month and service as required.
