13.5 Drainage System
It is essential that the following items be done periodically to maintain proper drainage of your
boat:
• Clean the cockpit drains with a hose to remove debris that can block water drainage.
• Clean the hardtop, tower or radar arch leg drain holes. This is especially important just before
winter lay-up.
• Frequently test the automatic bilge pump switch for proper operation. This is accomplished
by inserting a stiff wire or small rod through one of the slots in the float chamber of the pump
and lifting the float 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 freshwater to keep them clean and free flowing.
• 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 SYSTEMS.
PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE HOSES AND FITTINGS MAY RESULT.
