7.8 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.
7.9 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 T-top 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.
• Flush all gravity drains with freshwater to keep them clean and free flowing.
• Clean and inspect the drain sump system. Remove accumulated debris and flush with
freshwater. Frequently test the automatic pump switch for proper operation.
• Clean and flush the fishboxes and cooler/storage boxes with soap or a bilge cleaner and
freshwater after each use to keep them clean and fresh.
• Operate the thru hull valves once a month and service as required.
Note: All drains and pumps must be properly winterized before winter lay-up.
NEVER USE HARSH CHEMICAL DRAIN CLEANERS IN MARINE DRAIN SYS-
TEMS. PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE HOSES AND FITTINGS MAY RESULT.
