3 OPERATION
A one-way check valve in the drain pre-
vents water from traveling back to the
deck during mooring or while moving
in reverse.
Bilge Pump –
Your boat is equipped with a drainage
system that channels water that enters
the boat from the storage compart-
ments to the bilge under the engine
compartment. When the bilge pump is
turned on (see page 2-14), the pump
will sense when there is excessive
water in the bilge and will automati-
cally drain most of it through the out-
let
. For normal operation, turn the
bilge pump switch on during boat use
and turn it off when leaving the boat.
NOTICE: If the boat is to be left in the
water after use, leave the bilge pump
switch in the ON position. The pump
will activate if needed to drain any
water accumulating in the bilge.
Drain Plug –
A drain plug is located at the center
of the stern to allow more complete
draining when the boat is removed from
the water.
Engine Compartment and
Fuel Compartment Drain Plug –
Water will not normally enter the engine
compartment or fuel compartment
areas during operation. If it does, open
the drain plugs
and allow water to
drain. Also open the engine compart-
ment plug when flushing the engine
area with fresh water after salt water
operation.
Excessive water in the engine
compartment bilge can splash
into the air cleaner and engine.
This could cause engine dam-
age.
Be sure all drain plugs are tight-
ened before operating your boat.
If a fuel or fuel/water mixture drains
from the fuel tank compartment drain
or is found in the engine compartment,
wipe it up immediately with dry rags.
WARNING! This indicates a fuel leak.
Do not operate the boat until the
source of the fuel leak is found and
corrected. Gasoline and its vapors
are highly flammable and explosive.
