Additional automatic switches, located near each bilge pump,

sound an alarm and activate a light at the helm if the bilge

water level rises above the normal operating range of the bilge

pump automatic switches. The alarm automatic switches are

connected to the batteries. They are protected by circuit

breakers located on the engine room circuit breaker panel and

remain activated when the battery switches are in the “OFF”

position and the batteries are connected. These switches

should be tested periodically by turning the knob on the side

of the switch until the alarm sounds. You should also test the

alarm circuit with the test switch in the helm switch panel. If

the alarm does not activate, you should ﬁnd and correct the

problem as soon as possible.

7.4 Cockpit and Deck Drains

Scuppers and Hatches

Your boat has two scupper drains located in the rear of the

cockpit at the transom. Flaps built into the scuppers help

reduce the surge of sea water through the scuppers and into

the cockpit.

Water is channeled away from all hatches by a gutter or drain

rail system. The water then drains overboard through ﬁttings

in the drain rails to thru-hull ﬁttings in the hull sides above

the waterline.

Fishbox , Livewell, Freezer and Cockpit Sink Drains

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 helm switch panel. The

transom ﬁshbox is drained by gravity to a thru-hull ﬁtting in

the transom.

The livewell, cooler, bait prep sink and the bait freezer are

drained by gravity to thru-hull ﬁttings in the hull sides. The

overﬂow in the livewell drain into the overboard drains. These

compartments should be ﬂushed out and cleaned after each

use.

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.

Bridge and Cockpit Storage Compartments

A storage box, located below the lounge seat, is drained by

gravity to the bridge deck. The bridge deck drains overboard

by drain rails and drains in each side of the bridge deck sole.

Rope Locker Drains

The rope locker drains to the bilge. It is important to inspect

the drains frequently to remove any accumulated debris.

7.5 Cabin Drains

The galley, head sink, and shower are drained by a sump pump

system. An automatic ﬂoat switch in the sump controls the

pump. The sump pump is protected by the shower sump cir-

cuit breaker in the battery switch panel. The sump system is

activated whenever the batteries are connected to ensure the air

conditioner sumps and the shower will drain properly whenever

they are activated. After showering, let the cold water ﬂow for

a period of time to ﬂush the drainage system of soap residue.

The sump system is located in the forward bilge. The sump has a

removable lid to allow the system to be inspected and serviced.

It is essential that the sump system be inspected periodically

and any accumulated debris removed. Manually activate the

system to verify operation.

The drain thru-hull ﬁttings for the sump pump and the sink

drains are equipped with ball valves that are always open under

normal operating conditions. In the event of an emergency, the

valves can be closed to prevent sea water from entering the boat

through the shower sump or drain system. 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.
