Liner Drains; Bilge Compartment Drainage - Four winns FREEDOM Owner's Manual

NOTICE
While at rest, any bilge water accumulation may
flow forward. Therefore, operate the bilge pump
shortly after getting underway and while the boat
is at a substantial running angle. DO NOT allow
bilge water to accumulate. Damage to the en-
gine or other components may result.
Periodically, clean the bilge pump strainers. DO NOT
allow dirt and debris to clog the bilge pump intakes. Check
operation of the bilge pump float switch often to ensure
movement of the switch is not restricted by debris, por-
tions of the hull, etc.
Wipe up any oil accumulation in the bilge prior to activa-
tion of the bilge pump. Pumping oil overboard will pollute
the water, and is subject to fine.
After winterization of the fresh water systems, be sure
the bilge area, bilge pump and associated hoses are thor-
oughly dry. Damage to the hull, bilge pump and other
equipment could occur if water is allowed to freeze in the
bilge.
C. Liner Drains
Fiberglass liners are typically standard on most Free-
dom™ and Horizon™ models. Liner drains are provided
on these models with fiberglass liners. Fiberglass liners
can be cleaned easily by hosing the floor. The water will
drain into the bilge and be pumped overboard by the bilge
pump.
D. Bilge Compartment Drainage
Certain bulkhead areas of Four Winns® boats are sealed
in accordance with U.S. Coast Guard regulations effec-
tive at the date of manufacture. Drainage is provided and
water can be removed with the bilge pump.
