Raw Water Washdown
The raw water washdown hookup is located on the
port gunwale of the cockpit. It is supplied by a 3.5
GPM pump (see Figure 3.14.1) activated by the RAW
WATER PUMP switch on the battery switch panel.
Operation
Before operating the system make certain the raw
water seacock is in the open position. The seacock
can be accessed through the mechanical access hatch.
Maintenance
Maintenance of the raw water system requires
checking the fittings and hoses for system integrity to
prevent leaks. Periodically check the in-line strainer
attached to the pump, and clean if necessary.
The system should be run at least every other month
to maintain the pump’s impellers in good operating
condition. The raw water pump can be accessed
through the mechanical access hatch.
The two fishbox drain plugs must be installed
before putting boat into the water.
!
WARNING
Bait Prep Station
This boat features a bait prep station located
behind the helm seat. The integral swivel faucet is
pressurized by the fresh water pump which provides
cold running water to the station.
ATTENTION
The seacock must be in the open position when
livewell is in use. Running the pump dry may
damage the unit.

Fishbox with Pump Out Discharge
The two 40-gallon, deep-well fishboxes located port
and starboard in the cockpit utilize a pump system
for each box to discharge water overboard by way
of thru-hull fittings port and starboard. In addition,
there is a bottom drain with a plug in each of the
compartments (see Figure 3.14.2). The discharge
pumps can be accessed through the mechanical
access hatch. The pumps are independently activated
by the PORT F/B and STBD F/B switches on the helm
switch panel and are protected by breakers located on
the battery switch panel. If the pumps fail to activate
when the switches are depressed check the breakers
first and reset if needed.
