Draining the bilge water on water
This model is equipped with a self-draining
deck and bilge pump to drain the bilge water
on water.
Self-draining deck
Most water that enters the deck area drains
automatically out the stern through the large
drain hole in the deck.
A one-way check valve in the drain prevents
water from traveling back to the deck while
the boat is moored or moving in reverse.
Bilge pump
Your boat is equipped with a drainage system
that channels water that enters the boat from
the storage compartments to the bilge under
the engine compartment. When the bilge
pump switch and the battery switch are turned
on, the bilge pump will detect when there is
excessive water in the bilge and will automat-
ically drain most of it through the bilge pump
outlet. For normal operation, turn the bilge
pump switch on during boat use and turn it off
when leaving the boat.
NOTICE:
If the boat
is to be left in the water after use, leave the
bilge pump switch and the battery switch
in the on position. The pump will activate
if needed to drain any water accumulating
in the bilge.
