DRAINAGE SYSTEMS
7.1 General
Most water is drained by gravity or pumped to
overboard thru-hull fittings located in the hull
above the water line. It is important to check
the drain systems frequently to ensure they are
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 drain thru-hull fittings.
7.2 Cockpit Drains
Your Scout has two scupper drains located in the
rear of the cockpit. The scuppers drain water from
the cockpit overboard through fittings in the hull
below the water line. A flap built into each scup -
per drain fitting reduces the surge of seawater
through the scupper and into the cockpit while
maneuvering or in rough water.
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 T-Top Drains (Optional)
There is a hole drilled in the rear leg bases on T-
tops to prevent water from being trapped within
the legs 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. Additional drain
holes are drilled in the tubing to drain other areas
as required.
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.
7.4 Bilge Drainage
The aft bilge pump is activated both manually by a
switch in the helm switch panel and automatically
by an electronic switch built into the pump. The
automatic switch is connected to the batteries and
