5.1 DECK SELF-BAILER 

 

Ocean Runner craft are fitted with a standard self-bailer. Its operation is very simple. When underway, 
remove the rubber plug and the water will automatically run out. 
The inner diaphragm of the self-bailer will prevent the water from returning. 
 
 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
5.2 HULL DRAIN PLUG 

 

The hull drain plug should be periodically removed to empty any water between deck 
and hull, in semi-rigid craft. 
To open, twist anticlockwise. To close twist clockwise. 
 
Never open hull drain plugs when afloat.
