DRAINAGE SYSTEMS

7.1 Cockpit Drainage

Your Pursuit has two scupper drains located on each side of the hull

near the waterline to provide drainage for the cockpit. Water is

channeled away from all opening hatches by a gutter or drain rail

system. The water then drains overboard through the scuppers.

The scupper drain thru-hull fittings are equipped with PVC ball

valves that are always open under normal operating conditions. The

valves are accessed through hatches located in the stern. In the event

of an emergency, the valves can be closed to prevent seawater 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 OC-

CURS, 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 Leaning Post and T-Top Drainage

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 legs

that are not drilled for a wire chase, to allow 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 T-TOP OR LEAN-

ING POST LEGS COULD FREEZE AND CAUSE THE LEGS TO SPLIT.
