Aboard Out-A-Line, a 61-foot Viking sportfishing yacht, the Arid installation centers on a Series 2×2 24-volt unit. The original photographs show the boat on blue water and the cabinet fitted below deck.
A Viking sportfisher with space below deck
This 2005 Viking 61 has a three-stateroom, three-head layout. The exterior photograph captures its tall fishing tower above the enclosed cabin; the installation photograph offers a closer look at one part of the equipment arrangement below.
Out-A-Line’s Series 2 installation
The equipment photograph shows a slim Series 2 cabinet mounted against a bulkhead, with its front panel facing into the compartment. Connected tubing runs beneath it, alongside the larger hoses already aboard.
Our original feature identifies a two-zone setup. Those zones describe the installation featured here; they are not a recommendation based solely on the boat’s length. Pickup locations should follow the actual places where water collects.
A two-zone installation brings two collection areas back to one cabinet. The useful detail here is that a 61-foot boat is documented with a Series 2 setup: hull length alone does not tell an installer how many separate wet points need attention. The layout, drainage paths and chosen collection areas decide that conversation.
The water that remains
Arid’s role is to collect shallow residual water from connected low points. Conventional bilge pumps remain responsible for higher-volume pumping, and recurring water still calls for an inspection of its source.
The close view of the cabinet also shows why installation photographs are worth keeping. A clear view of the panel and the surrounding connections can help an owner explain the arrangement when requesting service or planning later work. Include the tubing route and access opening in your own installation records, along with the model and power-supply details.
For owners planning a similar installation, a look below deck is more useful than a size comparison alone. Identify separate wet areas, check tubing routes and leave room to reach the equipment for inspection and service.
