DRAINAGE SYSTEMS

7.1 General

All water is drained by gravity to overboard thru hull fittings located in the hull sides above the

waterline. The cabin and some cockpit component drain thru hull fittings are equipped with PVC

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

POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO THE BOAT AND YOUR CREW. IF THIS OCCURS,

DISTRIBUTE PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES TO THE CREW AND TAKE ALL

NECESSARY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, INCLUDING NOTIFYING THE COAST

GUARD, UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FOUND AND CORRECTED.

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 Hard Top 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.
