RAW WATER SYSTEM

8.1  General

In the raw or seawater systems, the baitwell water 

pump is mounted to a seacock on a thru-hull fit

-

ting located in the stern bilge.  The water system 

pressure pump is connected to an auxiliary supply 

fitting at the base of the baitwell pump.  Always 

make sure the seacock valve is open before at-

tempting to operate any component of the raw 

water system.  

Priming the System

Make sure the seacock valve is open and the Raw 

Water switch in the helm switch panel is on.  Run 

the pressure pump by turning on the raw water 

washdown hose until all of the air is purged from 

the system and then turn the hose off.  Turn the 

Baitwell pump switch to the on position and run 

the baitwell pump until all of the air is purged from 

the system and turn the pump off. 

The intake for the centrifugal baitwell pump is 

equipped with a scoop and ball valve.  If the pump 

runs but will not prime make sure the valve is 

open.  If the pump still won’t prime, it may be air 

locked.  Make sure the valve is open and run the 

boat at or above 15 M.P.H.  The water pressure 

from the scoop will force the trapped air through 

the pump and allow it to prime.  If this procedure 

doesn’t work, contact your Everglades dealer.

Closing the thru-hull valve before the boat is 

hauled from the water will help to eliminate air 

locks in raw water systems.  The valve should 

also be closed whenever you leave the boat un-

attended.

Notice: 

It may be necessary to reprime the raw wa

-

ter system if it is not used for an extended 

period and at the time of launching.

Chapter 8:

8.2  Raw Water System Operation

A high pressure pump, controlled by a pressure 

sensor, is activated by the Raw Water switch lo-

cated in the helm switch panel.  When activated, 

the pressure switch will automatically control the 

pump that supplies the raw water hose connector.

As the pressure builds in the system, the pump 

will shut off.   When the system is in use and the 

pressure drops, the pump will turn on.  The water 

system is equipped with a strainer on the intake 

side of the pump.  The strainer should be checked 

frequently and cleaned as necessary.

Whenever the boat is left unattended, the Raw 

Water switch should be placed in the OFF position.
