the motorwell, forward of the engines. The forward bilge pumps are located under inspections plates inside the head
and helm storage areas. The wiring for these pumps is secured to the centerline stringer which is visible from the
hatch. Inspect the operation of your bilge pumps and their connections at least annually. To do so, activate the pump
by removing the pump from the base and flipping it upside down., then check the operation using the manual switch.
Keeping your bilge areas clean can also help extend the life of your pump.
9.1.5 Freshwater System
The freshwater pump is mounted on a bulkhead below the helm area and can be reached by removing the starboard
trash can assembly behind the helm seat. The pump is connected to the 20 gallon freshwater tank located in the hull
forward of the starboard fuel tank. The tank is filled through a fitting located on the starboard side of the deck.
Similar to residential well pumps, the freshwater pump pressurizes the system to 45 psi. then shuts down until the
pressure drops below that level. Most owners leave the pump “on” throughout the day, and use the system when
necessary. On the 2740, the freshwater pump feeds the pull out shower located on the aft transom wall, freshwater
wiper rinse and the marine head. To view the layout of the freshwater system see section 9.3.15.
9.1.6 Seacocks
Ball valves (seacocks) are installed on the water intake for both the livewell and raw water system. The seacock must
be in the open position for these systems to work. When open, the handle will be parallel to the valve. In the closed
position the handle is perpendicular to the valve (see picture below). Glacier Bay recommends that the seacocks
remain in the closed position when not in use, or when the boat is left unattended to prevent the vessel from taking on
water due to a plumbing failure.
OPEN CLOSED
9.1.7 Livewell System - Optional
The 2740 has a 30-gallon optional livewell system. which is supplied by a dual purpose livewell pump. The pump is
located in the port bilge compartment and can be reached through the inspection port in the motorwell. The wiring is
secured to the pump using a tie-strap, and must be disconnected prior to removing the pump.
The livewell pump draws water through the strainer mounted on the inboard side of the port sponson. A seacock is
installed between the pickup and the pump to allow you to seal the system between use, or in the event of a plumbing
failure. To operate the livewell, first verify that the seacock is in the open position, then engage the livewell pump
using the switch at the dash. Water will fill the tank until it is level with the overboard drain, which evacuates water
through the hullside.
NOTICE
While underway, leaving your livewell seacock open could result in inadvertently filling your livewell.
To prevent this, close the seacock when the pump is not in operation.
