Chapter 8: Freedom 375
Livewell - Raw Water
To operate the livewell, open the seacock located in the aft bilge using the remote seacock arm
labeled livewell; the livewell pump is screwed directly into this seacock. Plug the drain in the bottom
of the livewell and place the livewell switch on the helm switch panel in the “on” position. Water will
enter through a plenum along the side of the livewell and be distributed through a series of holes
arranged vertically along the plenum. The water will rise until it reaches the overflow drain at the
top of the plenum, and then drain overboard.
N OT I C E
If the livewell seacock is left open and the pump is not on, the boat’s forward motion through
the water will gradually fill the box. To prevent this inadvertent filling, close the seacock when
the livewell is not in use.
Under certain conditions, placing the outboard engine(s) in reverse will ventilate the water
under the boat and create an air lock in the livewell pump. To prevent this situation from
occurring, it is recommended the livewell be turned off prior to any high RPM or continuous
reverse operation. If the livewell pump becomes air-locked, correct this situation by turning
the pump off for 20 seconds.
Lounge Seat
The aft-facing seat in the port cockpit features an extendable seat bottom. This allows the seat
to become a lounge for passengers when extended or maximize cockpit space when retracted. The
control switch for the lounge seat is located on the inboard side of the port helm bench seat.
C A U T I O N
To prevent damage to the deck floor, do not activate the sliding seat bottom while a passenger
is on the seat.
Main Circuit Breaker
There is a 50A circuit breaker located in the battery select switch box near the transom door.
This is the main breaker protecting the wiring supplying power to the positive bus bar at the helm. If
this breaker is tripped, the yellow trip lever will be positioned horizontally. Slide the trip lever back
to a vertical position to reset it.
