REGULATIONS THAT WERE IN EFFECT AT THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE OF THE

BOAT. ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THESE BULKHEADS SHOULD BE IN ACCORDANCE

WITH THE U.S. COAST GUARD REGULATIONS.

FISHBOX DRAINAGE

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 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.

LIVEWELL DRAINS

The livewell drains by gravity to overboard thru-hulls located in the hull sides just above the waterline. The

overflows in the livewell also drain into the overboard drains.

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.

5.5 Plumbing Systems Maintenance

WATER SYSTEMS

Information supplied with water system components, by the equipment manufacturers, is included with this

manual. Refer to this information for additional operation and service data.

The following items should be done routinely to maintain your fresh water system:

• Remove the filter screens from the faucet spouts and eliminate any accumulation of debris. A build-up

of debris can cause the pump to cycle excessively.

• The fresh water system is equipped with a strainer located on the intake line near the pump. This should

be checked at least annually and cleaned as necessary.

• Periodically spray the pumps and metal components with a metal protector.

• The batteries must be properly maintained and charged. Operating the pressure pump from a battery with

a low charge could lead to pump failure.

• Add a commercially available potable water conditioner to the water tank to keep it fresh.
