2012 Glacier Bay 2740 Owners Manual
NOTICE
Operating the engines in reverse can cause excessive ventilation near the livewell intake, causing the
pump to airlock. To prevent this, turn the pumps “OFF” prior to any continuous or high speed reverse
operation. If your pump does becomes air locked, turn the pump “OFF” for 15 to 30 seconds to correct
the problem.
9.1.8 Raw Water System
The raw water pump and strainer are mounted on the rigging wall in the starboard bilge compartment, which can be
accessed through the motorwell hatch. The strainer is connected to a high speed pickup through the seacock located
on the inboard side of the starboard sponson. The seacock must be open position for the system to work. Similar to
the freshwater pump, the raw water system in controlled by a pressure switch set at 45 psi. The pump will cycle on
and off as needed to maintain this pressure. Most owners leave the pump “on” throughout the day, and use the system
when necessary. On the 2740, the raw water pump feeds the raw water outlet located on the back of L-lounge on the
portside. A washdown hose has been included with your boat to use with this system. To view the layout of the raw
water system see section 9.3.15.
9.1.9 Marine Head
The 2740 comes equipped with a marine head. The control panel for the head is located on the head instrument panel
located beside the head in the head compartment. Power is supplied to this panel through a 25 amp fuse located
behind the dash.
Water is supplied to the system from the freshwater tank; therefore, to operate the toilet the freshwater system must
be pressurized. A solenoid, installed near the head inlet, prevents water from filling the bowl prior to each use. The
macerator pump, located at the rear of the toilet, removes waste from the bowl and pumps it into the 15 gallon
holding tank.

If the solenoid fails or becomes locked in the open position, shut off the supply system quickly and
evacuate the bowl.
The holding tank is mounted in the port hull forward of the gas tank, it can be accessed via the inspection plate inside
the head compartment on the aft wall. This tank can be evacuated using the deck pump-out fitting located on the port
side or by overboard discharge using the macerator pump and seacock supplied on your vessel. To access the
seacock, open the inspection hatch installed under the bottom step going into head compartment. Open the seacock
and use the keyswitch on the head switch panel to evacuate the tank.
