Chapter 7:
DRAINAGE SYSTEMS
7.1 General
All water is drained by gravity to overboard thru hull fittings located in the hull sides above
the water line. All drains in the cockpit are connected to the scupper thru hull fittings. It is
important to check the drain system frequently to insure 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 drain thru hull fittings.
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 NOTIFY-
ING THE COAST GUARD, UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FOUND AND CORRECTED.
7.2 Cockpit Drains
Your Denali 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 Bilge Drainage
The automatic bilge pump is a special macerator type pump that is
equipped with run-dry protection and a remote pickup. The pickup for
this pump is located under the engine . An air-dome style switch controls
the automatic operation and is mounted on the transom. The manual
pump is located forward of the engine and operates independently of the
automatic pump.
A forward bilge pump is installed in the center of the bilge in the compart-
ment just aft of the cabin steps. The pump moves water out through a fitting
