7.6 Drainage System Maintenance

It is essential that the following items be done periodically to

maintain proper drainage of your boat:

• Clean the cockpit and bridge drain rails with a hose to

remove debris that can block water drainage.

• Clean the hardtop or tower 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 switches for

proper operation. This is accomplished by 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.

• Clean and inspect the shower and air conditioning drain

sump system. Remove accumulated debris and ﬂush with

freshwater. Frequently test the automatic pump switch for

proper operation.

• Clean and ﬂush the ﬁshbox 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.

Note: Never use harsh chemical drain cleaners in marine

drain systems. Permanent damage to the hoses and

ﬁttings may result.
