Wakeboard Tower Drains (Msx Models); Drainage System Maintenance - Monterey M3 Owner's Manual

Drainage Systems
NOTICE:
The overboard macerator discharge pump
option for the waste holding tank is not avail-
able with the grey water system.
9.5 WakeBoard Tower Drains
(MSX Models)
There is a hole drilled in the starboard front leg
base on towers to prevent water from being
trapped within the leg and provide a wire chase
for accessories. A small hole is drilled in the tub-
ing at the base of the other legs, which are not
drilled for a wire chase, that allows water to drain.
Additional drain holes are drilled in the tubing to
drain other areas as required.
Always make sure the leg drain holes are clear
when the boat is laid up for the winter. Water
trapped inside the legs could freeze and cause
the legs to split.

9.6 Drainage System Maintenance

It is essential that the following items be done
periodically to maintain proper drainage of your
boat:
• Clean the engine hatch drain rails and fittings
with a hose to remove debris that can block
water drainage.
• Clean the bilge pump strainer of debris and
check the bilge for foreign material that can
cause the automatic switch to malfunction.
• Frequently test the automatic bilge pump switch
for proper operation.
by raising the float switch until the pump is
activated. You can also use a garden hose to
raise the water level in the bilge until it is high
enough to activate the pump.
• If your boat is equipped with the optional grey
water system, periodically clean and inspect
the drain sump system. Remove accumulated
debris and flush with fresh water. Frequently
test the automatic pump switch for proper
operation.
• Flush all gravity drains with fresh water to keep
them clean and free flowing.
NOTICE:
All drains and pumps must be properly win-
terized before winter lay-up.
NOTICE:
Never use harsh chemical drain cleaners in
marine drain systems. Permanent damage
to the hoses and fittings may result.
