The standard raw water system consists of a high speed pick-up, located on the transom, a pump, a
livewell, and a washdown location.

On the 175CC / 155CC, the livewell is located in the forward section of the center console. On either
model, the livewell is filled by a low maintenance magnetic drive centrifugal pump installed in the bilge.
This system is part of EdgeWater Powerboats “Bait Sentry System” introduced for the 2000 model year.
The magnetic drive is used to prevent damage to the electric motor in the event that debris clogs the
pump. The pump is controlled by the livewell switch on the control panel. To operate properly, the valve
inside the livewell must be adjusted to provide an even flow in and out of the livewell. Too much and it
will be more than the drain can handle, too little and the water will not get the proper circulation. The
valve should be turned counterclockwise to open and clockwise to close. There is a standpipe and
strainer installed in the livewell drain to regulate the height of the water level. The livewell drains
through a hose connected to a thru hull fitting in the transom. To completely drain the livewell, remove
the standpipe and allow the water to drain overboard. A diagram of the raw water system is included
with this manual.

The optional washdown system is comprised of a diaphragm pump mounted in the
aft sump area, and a washdown fitting to attach a garden hose fitting and hose.
The pump is controlled by the washdown switch on the control panel. The diaphragm
pump is fed through the same thru hull and high speed pickup as the livewell
pump. The wash-down hose connector is located in the transom engine well and
uses a standard garden hose fitting. With an attached hose this system can be used to wash debris
from the boat. The pump, located in a transom locker, is activated by a switch on the control panel. This
switch should be turned on immediately prior to use and turned off when not in use. When activated, the
pump’s pressure switch will automatically control the pump. It is normal for the pump to cycle on and off
in response to flow rates and water demand.
Always turn off the high pressure wash down pump switch when leaving the boat unat-
tended.

The following checks should be made periodically to assure your system operates properly:
•
Periodically spray pumps with a protective silicone solvent to reduce corrosion.
•
Fishboxes and livewells should be drained and cleaned after each use.
