Drain Plug and Bilge Pump
The engine compartment in your boat is a natural place for water to collect. For this reason, boats are normally equipped with a
drain plug or a bilge pump. It is very important to check these items on a regular basis to ensure that the water level does not
come into contact with your power package. Components on your engine will be damaged if submerged. Damage caused by
submersion is not covered by the warranty.
