2670 Cuddy Console

7.5 Fishbox, Cooler and Storage Compartment Drains

The fishbox below the cockpit floor is drained overboard by a macerator pump-out system. The macerator

is activated by a momentary switch located in a switch panel in the cockpit below the gunwale. The fishboxes

should be flushed out and cleaned after each use.

The cooler located under the passenger seat in front of the console drains by gravity to overboard thru-hulls

located in the hull sides just above the waterline.

The macerator discharge pump can only be run dry for a few seconds. Allowing the macerator pump to run

after the fishbox is empty may cause damage to the pump.

7.6 Water System Drains

All exterior sinks and livewells, provided with fresh or raw water, drain by gravity to overboard thru-hulls

located in the hull sides just above the waterline. The overflows in the livewell drain into the overboard drains.

7.7 Rope Locker Drains

The rope locker drains overboard through a special drain fitting located in the hull side at the bottom of the

rope locker. It is important to inspect the drain frequently to remove any accumulated debris.

7.8 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 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 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.
