If such a situation exists, the boat should be taken to a certified marine technician immediately. - Page 11 Large quantities of water in the bilge may be an indication of a leak or that the bilge pump and/or automatic float switch is not functioning properly due to a jam, clog or electrical issue.

Page 16: Self-Bailing Cockpit & Livewell
Self-Bailing Cockpit & Livewell Self-Bailing Cockpit The cockpit on the Pathfinder 2300 HPS is designed to be self-bailing, meaning that all the water that comes into the cockpit will be directly drained overboard. This keeps the boat from acquiring standing water and allows the boat to drain at all times, including while the boat is docked. -
