6.3 High Pressure Washdown
The washdown system is comprised of a diaphragm pump mounted on the hull inside the
starboard side transom access door and a washdown fitting to attach a 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 washdown
hose outlet is located on the starboard side of the transom area. With an
attached hose, this system can be used to wash debris from the boat. The
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 washdown pump switch when leaving the boat
unattended.
6.4 Freshwater System
The freshwater systems diaphragm pump is mounted on the inside of the console access locker.
The pump is controlled by the freshwater switch on the control panel. The diaphragm pump is fed
by a freshwater tank located in the fuel tank cavity. The shower head assembly is located on the
starboard side of the transom area. The freshwater 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 freshwater pump switch when leaving the boat unattended.
6.5 Raw Water System Maintenance
The following checks should be made periodically to assure your system operates properly:
· Periodically spray pumps with a protective silicone solvent to reduce corrosion.
· Periodically check in-line filter to remove any collected debris.
· Fishboxes and livewells should be drained and cleaned after each use.
· Periodically check hoses and connections for signs of deterioration.
· Periodically check water tank straps for looseness.
