3000 EXPRESS

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 Hardtop and Radar Arch 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.

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 bilge pumps are activated both manually, by a

switch in the helm station, and automatically, by a float

switch built into the pumps. The automatic float switches

are protected by circuit breakers located on the TABS

unit and remain activated when the battery switches are

in the “OFF” position and the batteries are connected.

All bilge pumps pump water out of thru hulls located

above the waterline in the hull. The rear bilge pump and

automatic switch are located near the transom, below the

stern fishbox, and the forward pump and automatic

switch are located in the engine room.

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 hull

near the transom. The plug should be removed whenever the boat is hauled out of the water and

installed just prior to launching. It is important to check the drain plug regularly to make sure it is

tight.
