5.4 Draining system
Your boat’s draining system consists of an automatic bilge pump system with two electric bilge pumps. The deck and the cockpit drain themselves along the deck towards the aft and out under the transom gate. The bow hatch drains itself through a hull opening.
The draining system
is not foolproof! The bilge pump system is not designed to pump out
large amounts of water.
