sea water from entering the boat through the sump system. The drain valve is located on the port

side of the storage compartment below the center console. It is important to check and operate the

valve at least annually to make sure it is in good condition and operating properly. Please review

the drainage schematic to become familiar with the location of the sump pump thru hull valve.

7.8 Rope Locker Drains

The rope locker drains overboard through a special drain fittings located in the hull sides at the

bottom of the rope locker. It is important to inspect the drains frequently to remove any accumulated

debris.

7.9 Drainage System Maintenance

It is essential that the following items be done periodically to maintain proper drainage of your boat:

• Clean the cockpit drain rails with a hose to remove debris that can block water drainage.

• Clean the hardtop leg drain holes. This is especially important just before winter lay-up.

• Clean the bilge pump strainers of debris and check the bilge for foreign material that can cause

the automatic switch to malfunction.

• Frequently test the automatic bilge pump switch for proper operation. This is accomplished by

inserting a stiff wire or small rod through one of the slots in the float chamber of the pump and

lifting the float switch until the pump is activated. You can also use a garden hose to flood the

bilge until the water level is high enough to activate the pump.

• Flush all gravity drains with freshwater to keep them clean and free flowing.

• Clean and inspect the shower and cabin sink drain sump system. Remove accumulated debris

and flush with freshwater. Frequently test the automatic pump switch for proper operation.

• Clean and flush the fishbox and cooler storage boxes with soap or a bilge cleaner and freshwater

after each use to keep them clean and fresh.

Note: All drains and pumps must be properly winterized before winter lay-up.

NEVER USE HARSH CHEMICAL DRAIN CLEANERS IN MARINE DRAIN SYSTEMS.

PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE HOSES AND FITTINGS MAY RESULT.
