Raw Water System
To fill the release wells, slide the standpipe pro -
tector out of the well and insert the overflow tube
into the drain fitting. Then replace the standpipe
protector. Make sure the seacock valves for each
pump are open. Then activate the pump for each
well. When the water level reaches the overflow,
it will begin to circulate and aerator valves in each
well will automatically add oxygen to the water as
it circulates through the system.
Notice:
The starboard release well and the baitwell
are supplied by the starboard pump. The
baitwell is equipped with an adjustable sup-
ply valve that can be turned off to stop the
flow of water to the baitwell when it is not
being used or adjusted to balance the water
flow between the release well and baitwell
when both wells are in use.
The raw water intakes for the pumps are an anti-
venturi design that will supply water to the release
wells if a pump should fail and helps prime the
system during normal operation. To supply water
to a release well using the pickup, make sure the
seacock valve is open and run the boat at a speed
above 15 miles per hour. Water will circulate
through the well and out the overflow.
To drain the release wells, turn off the pump and
remove the overflow tube from each drain fit -
ting. When the well has completely drained, use
the washdown hose to flush the wells and drain
fittings of debris.
The pump seacock valves should be closed when-
ever the wells are not in use. This will prevent
water from entering the release wells while the
boat is cruising.
Notice:
Do not use a release well as a dry storage
area when it is not in use. Seawater could
accidently be delivered to the wells from
the thru-hull fitting and damage equipment
stored there.
