Raw Water System
8.4 Baitwell Y-Valves
A Y-valve connected to the supply hoses for each
baitwell is used to provide water flow to each
baitwell from the primary pump or the backup
pump if the primary pump fails. When the baitwell
pumps are operating properly, each Y-valve is set
to the respective pump. This is considered the
normal setting.
If a baitwell pump fails, the baitwell Y-valve can
be set to supply the well with the backup pump.
Setting the Y-valve to “BOTH” will allow the op -
erator to supply the baitwell from the backup and
primary pumps, significantly increasing water
volume and flow to the well. This should only be
done temporarily to fill the well quickly. Always
supply the baitwells from only the primary pump
during normal operation.
If both baitwell pumps fail, the Y-valves can be set
to supply both baitwells simultaneously from the

side of each well for the drain plug when the well is
not in use.
The ball valve at the pumps should be closed when-
ever the wells are not in use. This will prevent water
from entering the well while the boat is cruising.
Notice:
Do not use the baitwells as a dry storage area
when they are not in use. Seawater could
accidently be delivered to the well from the
thru-hull fitting and damage equipment stored
there.
CAUTION
A RUPTURED RAW WATER INTAKE OR PRESSURE LINE
COULD CAUSE THE BOAT TO TAKE ON WATER. ALWAYS
TURN THE RAW WATER SYSTEMS OFF AND CLOSE THE
THRU-VALVES WHEN LEAVING THE BOAT UNATTENDED.
