Bilge Drainage; Fishbox And Storage Compartment Drainage; Sink And Livewell Drains - PURSUIT 2470 CENTER CONSOLE Owner's Manual

7.3 Bilge Drainage

The bilge pump is activated both manually, by a switch in the helm station, and automatically by
a float switch located next to the pump in the bilge. The automatic float switch remains activated
when the battery switch is in the "OFF" position. All bilge pumps pump water out of thru-hulls
located above the waterline in the hull.
Note: See Electrical Systems for additional information on bilge pump operation.
IMPORTANT: Any oil spilled in the bilge must be thoroughly removed and properly
disposed of before operating the bilge pump. The discharge of oil from
the bilge is illegal and subject to a fine.
THE FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT PROHIBITS THE DISCHARGE
OF OIL OR OILY WASTE INTO OR UPON THE NAVIGABLE WATERS OF THE
UNITED STATES OR THE WATERS OF THE CONTIGUOUS ZONE IF SUCH DIS-
CHARGE CAUSES A FILM OR SHEEN UPON, OR A DISCOLORATION OF THE SUR-
FACE OF THE WATER, OR CAUSES A SLUDGE OR EMULSION BENEATH THE
SURFACE OF THE WATER. VIOLATORS ARE SUBJECT TO A PENALTY OF $5,000.
CERTAIN BULKHEAD AREAS ARE SEALED IN ACCORDANCE WITH U.S. COAST
GUARD REGULATIONS THAT WERE IN EFFECT AT THE DATE OF MANUFAC-
TURE OF THE BOAT. ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THESE BULKHEADS SHOULD
BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE U.S. COAST GUARD REGULATIONS.

7.4 Fishbox and Storage Compartment Drainage

The fishbox and storage compartment located in the bow are drained by gravity. The fishbox
drains overboard out of a thru-hull fitting located in the hull side above the waterline and the bow
storage box drains into the bilge.

7.5 Sink and Livewell Drains

All sinks and livewells, provided with fresh or raw water, drain by gravity to overboard thru-hulls
located in the hull sides just above the waterline. The overflows in the livewells drain into the
overboard drains.
