Cockpit / Deck Drains; Drain Plug; Outriggers - Optional; Thru Hull Fittings - Pro-Line Boats 32 Express 2006 Owner's Manual

Cockpit / Deck Drains

There are four (4) cockpit/deck drains in the aft area of the
cockpit that allow excess water in the cockpit to drain
overboard via thru hulls on each side of the boat. To ensure
that there is no blockage in any of the hoses connected to the
drains, it is recommended that you occasionally run water
through each of the cockpit drains and visually inspect the
thru hulls to verify that water flows freely and that there is no
blockage. To trouble shoot, check the hoses for leaks and
make certain that all hose connections are secure.

Drain Plug

Before launching the boat, always make sure that the drain plug has been installed in the fitting on the
transom at the keel. If your boat is being transported, remove the drain plug once the boat is secured on
the trailer so that any excess water can be drained via the fitting. Never remove the drain plug when the
boat is sitting static in the water.
If you live in an area where it snows and you are storing your boat on a lift during the winter, make sure
that you remove the drain plug. When the snow melts, if the float switch for the bilge pump happens to
fail, it could flood the bilge and damage electrical components in the bilge.
Outriggers (Optional)
This option requires the installation of the optional hard top frame. The outrigger installation includes a
pair of outrigger bases, poles and lines. The bases are constructed of anodized aluminum and are
installed on each side of the optional hard top. Turn the handle at the bottom of the outrigger base to
o
rotate the outriggers 90 (from the side to the aft end of the boat).

Thru Hull Fittings

Thru hull fittings provide overboard drainage. The following photos indicate the source of drainage for
each of the thru hulls.
