4.1.1 Self-draining systems

The boat is equipped with self-draining systems for the whole deck area. The system is drained through drain holes in the aft of the boat. In addition to rainwater, the drain holes are intended to drain water ending up on the deck through splashing or from breaking waves.

There are drain holes for water in both aft corners of the deck. The openings are directly connected to the sea. The deck of the boat has been designed to allow the water to drain straight into the sea via the water gullies.

Do not close the drain holes when using the boat.

Drain hole

The drain holes must be open at all times. Clean the holes regularly by removing any accumulated debris to prevent clogging.

The system is built so as to drain the water from the deck in normal use. Do not close the taps when using the boat or when the boat is attached to the dock.

In the drivers floor, there is drain hole at port side of the floor. Behind the drain hole, automatic water pump is installed. It removes water from driver's floor. Keep drain holes clean.

The self-emptying open space is meant for the removal of such water that ends up on the deck through rain, splashing or from breaking waves. A part of the rain water as well as water condensation in the bilge may end up in the bilge.

  • Do not leave the boat unattended in the water for a long time.

  • Observe the floating position of the boat and empty the bilge when necessary.

Leaving the boat unattended in the water for a long time may cause damage.

Footwell area at the drivers location is drained with a bilge pump. The pump is located at the port side of the well area, behind a panel. Do not block the drain hole.
