Boat Multi-Purpose Drains – Versatile Drainage for Any Area of Your Boat
When it comes to managing water on your boat, flexibility is key. That’s why multi-purpose drains are such a smart choice. These versatile fittings are designed to work in a variety of locations—giving you reliable drainage wherever you need it, from decks to lockers to baitwells and beyond.
What Is a Multi-Purpose Drain?
A multi-purpose drain is a compact, all-in-one fitting that can be used in several different areas of your boat where water needs to be removed. It’s typically installed through a flat surface and can be connected to a hose or drainage line to route water overboard or to a collection area like a bilge or scupper.
Where Can You Use Them?
Multi-purpose drains are commonly installed in:
-
Decks and walkways
-
Anchor lockers
-
Baitwells or livewells
-
Rod storage lockers
-
Coolers or built-in storage bins
-
Transom areas
Their adaptable design makes them perfect for draining standing water wherever it may collect.
How Do They Work?
These drains are mounted through a hole in the surface. Water flows into the open top of the drain, through the body, and out the bottom via a connected hose. Many models include a barbed hose fitting, which lets you securely attach drainage tubing using a simple hose clamp.
Some multi-purpose drains also feature built-in strainers or angled outlets for better flow and easier hose routing—especially in tight spaces.
