helm. The forward pump has both automatic and manual functions.

Current is supplied to the automatic float switch whenever the batteries are connected. The bilge pump switch

in the helm is supplied current when the house battery switch is in the "ON" position. Breakers for both the

manual and the automatic functions are located on the MDP.

THE MANUAL BILGE PUMP SHOULD BE ACTIVATED BRIEFLY EACH TIME THE BOAT IS

USED. THIS WILL ENSURE THAT IT IS OPERATING PROPERLY. THE AUTOMATIC SWITCH

SHOULD BE MANUALLY ACTIVATED TO VERIFY OPERATION.

THE BILGE PUMPING SYSTEM IS NOT DESIGNED FOR DAMAGE CONTROL.

When the boat is out of the water, the bilge can be drained by a thru-hull drain located in the transom near the

bottom of the hull. It is important to check the drain plug regularly to make sure it is tight.

Any oil spilled in the bilge must be thoroughly removed and properly disposed of before operating the bilge

pump. The discharge of oil from the bilge is illegal and subject to fine.

A LOOSE DRAIN PLUG WILL ALLOW SEA WATER TO ENTER THE BILGE AND COULD CAUSE

THE BOAT TO SINK. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CHECK THE DRAIN PLUG FREQUENTLY

TO ENSURE IT IS PROPERLY TIGHTENED.

THE FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT PROHIBITS THE DISCHARGE OF OIL

OR OILY WASTE INTO OR UPON THE NAVIGABLE WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES OR

THE WATERS OF THE CONTIGUOUS ZONE IF SUCH DISCHARGE CAUSES A FILM OR SHEEN

UPON, OR A DISCOLORATION OF THE SURFACE OF THE WATER, OR CAUSES A SLUDGE

OR EMULSION BENEATH THE SURFACE OF THE WATER. VIOLATORS ARE SUBJECT TO

A PENALTY OF $10,000.

EXTERIOR DRAINS

Your Pursuit has two drains located in the rear of the cockpit. Water is channeled away from all hatches by

a gutter drain system.

The fishboxes located below the cockpit sole are pumped overboard by a macerator discharge pump located

in the bilge and activated by a switch in the cockpit. The fishboxes should be pumped out and cleaned after

each use. Refer to the Exterior Equipment chapter for the location of fishboxes.

The console cooler and the storage compartments located in the bow drain overboard.

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.
