3070 CENTER CONSOLE
7.5 Fishbox, Cooler and Storage Compartment Drains
The console cooler is drained overboard by gravity. The storage compartments and rod holders
located in the bow are drained by gravity to the bilge. The forward fishboxes/storage
compartments are drained overboard by gravity to thru hull fittings in the hull sides.
The livewell in the stern is also drained by gravity to a thru hull fitting in the hull above the
waterline. The livewell should be flushed out and cleaned after each use.
The stern fishbox located below the cockpit sole is pumped overboard by a macerator discharge
pump activated by a momentary switch in the cockpit. The fishbox should be pumped out and
cleaned after each use. Always turn the pump off after the fishbox is drained.
Note: The macerator discharge pump can only be run dry for a couple of seconds. Allowing
the macerator pump to run after the fishbox is empty will 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 Head Compartment Drains
The head sink drains by gravity to a sump pump. The sump system is located in the bilge and
accessed through a hatch in the head compartment. An automatic float switch in the sump
controls the pump. The pump is protected by the sump pump circuit breaker in the cabin DC
panel. The sump has a removable hatch to allow the system to be inspected and serviced. It is
essential that the sump system be inspected periodically and any accumulated debris removed.
The drain thru hull fitting for the sump pump is equipped with a PVC ball valve that is always
open under normal operating conditions. In the event of an emergency, the valve can be closed
to prevent seawater from entering the boat through the shower sump system. The drain valve for
the sump pump is located on the port side of the center bilge compartment. It is important to
check and operate the valves at least annually to make sure they are in good condition and
operating properly. Please review the drainage schematic to become familiar with the location
of the sump pump and gravity drain thru hull valves.
