The pump, the strainer and seacock are located in the cockpit machinery space.
Please refer to the air conditioner owner's manual for more information on the operation and maintenance of
the air conditioner.
5.4 Drainage
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.
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.
BILGE DRAINAGE
Bilge pumps are located in the stern bilge and the forward cabin sump. All bilge pumps pump water out of
thru-hulls located above the waterline in the hull.
"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 manual switches are supplied current when the house battery switch is activated. It is protected by a
breaker on the helm breaker panel.
THE MANUAL BILGE PUMP SHOULD BE ACTIVATED BRIEFLY EACH TIME THE BOAT
IS USED. THIS WILL ENSURE THAT IT IS OPERATING PROPERLY. THE AUTOMATIC
SWITCH SHOULD BE MANUALLY ACTIVATED TO VERIFY OPERATION.
Note: See Electrical Systems for additional information on bilge pump operation.
When the boat is out of the water, the bilge can be drained by a thru-hull drain located in the transom near
the bottom of the hull. It is important to check the drain plug regularly to make sure it is tight.
Any oil spilled in the bilge must be thoroughly removed and properly disposed of before operating the bilge
pump. The discharge of oil from the bilge is illegal and subject to fine.
