OS 335

THE BATTERIES MUST BE PROPERLY CHARGED. OPERATING ANY PUMPS FROM A

BATTERY WITH A LOW CHARGE MAY LEAD TO A PUMP FAILURE.

THE FRESH AND RAW WATER SYSTEM MUST BE PROPERLY WINTERIZED PRIOR TO

WINTER LAY-UP. SEE THE SECTION ON WINTERIZING.

DRAINAGE SYSTEMS

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 drain holes. This is especially important just before winter lay-up.

• Clean the bilge pump and automatic float switch strainers of debris and check the bilge for foreign material

that can cause the automatic switch to malfunction.

• Frequently test the rear automatic bilge pump switch and high water alarm float for proper operation. This

is accomplished by turning the test knob on the side of the 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 fresh water to keep them clean and free flowing.

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

fresh water. 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 fresh water after

each use to keep them clean and fresh.

• Operate the thru-hull valves once a month and service as required.

• 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.

ALL DRAINS AND PUMPS MUST BE PROPERLY WINTERIZED BEFORE WINTER LAY-

UP.

NEVER USE HARSH CHEMICAL DRAIN CLEANERS IN MARINE DRAIN SYSTEMS. PER-

MANENT DAMAGE TO THE HOSES AND FITTINGS MAY RESULT.
