battery is off, e.g. if leaving on pontoon overnight; will empty rainwater)
Elephant drain water outlet in port transom, secured with running line inboard.
Main bung in centre transom. Attached via lanyard; allowing it to be easily located
each time the boat is launched. The boat is always stowed at a raised angle on the
trailer, to allow free exit of rainwater through bung.Seating/ Console configuration:

open to rear to allow fuel tank entry/ exit. Each seat is hinged, allowing access to fuel
tanks/ vents/ straps.

cover when the boat is not in use.

Runs on unleaded petrol; E5/ E10. Super unleaded preferred.

where the cans are physically taken to the pump.
