Activity Center - where does it drain?

[Timmy!]

Where does the water from the transom activity center on the RZ/Ve series drain out at? I was thinking it just dumped it into the engine compartment and then you would use the bilge pump to get it out but that doesn't appear to be the case.

Im pretty sure that is the case. I dont know for sure but I think it just drains into the bilge

Well, I know this for sure. Was in the boat last night working on the grab handle. The three transom boxes drain into the bilge area. There are three clear plastic pipes that allow the water to drip into this area and deposit the water onto the bilge floor.

[Timmy!]

So if that is the case....why is my bilge area still dry if I haven't run the pump? I had a 10lb bag of ice in the one "cooler" and let it all melt and drain into there.

I guess there could be water in there and it's just not enough for me to see.

BTW - the cooler is pretty big! I put a 10lb bag of ice and an 18pk of beer in that thing!

Well, I found that the tubes were directing water to a carpeted area. You might want to get into that area to see where the tubes are going. I redirected mine after see this and tried to dry up the area. It was draining behind the computer located under the transom area.

I'm gussing it might take about 5 to 10 gallons of water to kick the bilge on, what's a 10# bag of melted ice........my 3 or 4 qts

The cooler has a hose that drains into the bilge area. If you shine a flashlight down your starboard storage side you can see it.

Like chpthril said it will take several gallons for the bilge to kick on.

I am pretty sure that the transom center just drains down into the engine compartment.

[Timmy!]

I knocked the hose off of the one for the cooler that is under the seat while putting my boards in that storage bin. I need to figure out where it connects to and reconnect it.

The cooler that I have been referring to prior to this post is the activity center one...in case I confused anyone.

Thanks for the help!

Thats a cooler? I couldn't image it holding ice very well. I use that to store my lube, dock ropes and 303.

[Timmy!]

Yep, it's a cooler too... I use the one side for ropes and stuff and the other for beer (in addition to the soft side carry-on cooler that came with the boat). I just plug the drain hole and it will hold ice and water all day.

[spharis]

Built in coolers hold ice for about .000234 seconds down here. I am sure Matt can vouch for that.

Mine has a 12V adapter in it, so I doubt it's intended for use as a cooler. It does have a drain, tho.

Um..... 12V adapter with a drain

You might want to put a warning sticker on the lid

"Warning, putting wet object in this container might cause an electrical shock and death. Please keep make sure everything is dry before opening the lid"

Okay, just wanted to make sure you didn't get sued.
