Your boat is equipped with a self-draining system for the deck. The drain holes for water coming from rain, splashing or breaking waves are directly connected to the sea.
Risk of material damage. Some of the water and condensation from the deck may end up in the bilge and cause damage to the components over a long period of time, if not removed.
See section 4.8.2 Bilge pump system for more detailed instructions.
The drain holes must be open at all times.
-
Do not block the drain holes.
-
Remove any accumulated debris regularly to prevent clogging.
Risk of flooding or sinking (US market only):
-
The drain plug on the bilge drain hole must always be closed when the boat is in water.
-
The plug can be opened when the boat is out of the water.
For the location of the bilge drain hole, see 4.8 Draining system.
