Its primary function is to allow for the complete evacuation of bilge water, which can accumulate from various sources such as rain, washdown, or minor leaks. By enabling efficient draining, it helps to prevent the growth of mold and mildew, reduces the risk of freeze damage in colder climates, and contributes to the overall structural soundness of the boat.

The ability to quickly drain the bilge is also important for winterization, ensuring that no residual water remains to expand and cause damage during freezing temperatures. Investing in a quality garboard drain like the Perko model is an investment in the long-term care and preservation of your marine vessel, ensuring it remains in top condition for years to come.
