5.2 Openings in the hull and deck

There are drain holes for the rain water on the boat. Make sure that you: 

• Close the drain holes if the boat begins to take on water during loading.

• Keep them open in all other circumstances.

• Check and clean the drain holes regularly to prevent blockage.

• Unscrew the rear plug when the boat is docked or on a trailer. Remember to reattach the rear plug before launching the boat.

• For more information about drainage equipment see Bilge pumps and draining.
