Garboard Drain Plug
The garboard drain plug is the small metal plug
located at the lowest point on the hull, at the bottom of
the transom right above the keel. The drain has been
designed so that it can be loosened by hand while the
hull is out of the water for draining. This allows the
plug to stay in contact with the surrounding frame so
you’ll never misplace or lose it. You can completely
remove the insert by pulling back and continue
turning in a counter-clockwise motion. It is manufactured with a rubber seal in place to
ensure your bilge is watertight. Always make sure before putting the boat in the water
that this plug is hand tightened firmly. Excess water in the bilge may be an indication of
a problem with this plug or the automatic bilge pump.
Bilge
Bilge Access
First, locate the controls on the electronic lift assist, labeled “Hatch”,
mounted on the
starboard side of the tackle station directly across from the gunwale. Next, press and
hold the top button on the controls. This will cause the rear access to lift revealing the
bilge access. To lower the hatch simply press and hold the bottom button on the control
panel until the aft section is fully closed. Remember that the electronic lift assist
operates using the house battery system.
In the event that the boat does not have power to electronically lift the hatch, the
electronic lift can be disengaged by lowering the bench seat and using the access
opening shown below to remove the pin from the electronic ram. Keep in mind that at
this point the hatch will no longer be supported in the up position and will require being
held up to maintain access to the bilge. Once the work in the bilge is finished and power
is restored to the hatch lift, it is important to attach the ram to the hatch with the pin
once again to secure the door in the closed position.
