Cockpit Switch Panel
This panel is located above the starboard rigging station. It is used to operate those systems
which are not included on the AC/DC panel or the helm switch panel. The switches are backlit
for low light situations and have individual breakers located above them. Refer to
“Switch
Panels” on page 8–2
for information regarding the operation of switches included on this
panel.
Helm Switch Panel
This panel is located at the helm, and is used to operate the livewell system, washdown
system, and spreader lights. The switches are backlit for low light situations and have
individual breakers located above them. Refer to
“Switch Panels” on page 8–2
for
information regarding the operation of switches included on this panel.
Head And Discharge Pump
Reference
“Vacuflush Head System” on page 8–24
for information on the operation of these
components.
Head Shower
To use the head shower, the fresh water switch located on the AC/DC panel must be activated
or a shore water supply must be connected to provide pressure to the hot and cold water
supplies. Water flow is controlled by the shower mixer fixture and a conservation valve built
into the shower head.
Livewell – Raw Water
To operate the livewell, open the seacock with the livewell I.D. tag located beneath the center
lid in the aft berth. The 1100 gph livewell pump is screwed directly into this seacock. The
livewell switch at the helm should be in the on position. Place the livewell standpipe in the
drain located at the bottom of the livewell. Screw it down until the black flange makes contact
with the flange on the drain fitting. 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 to a depth even with the strainer on the standpipe and drain overboard. To
evacuate debris and bait waste from the bottom of the box while the livewell is in operation,
unscrew the standpipe approximately three turns to expose two 3/8” holes located in the
threads of the standpipe base. This will allow a small amount of water to escape through these
holes and remove any waste that has settled in the bottom of the livewell. See
“Livewell/
Washdown System Layout” on page 8–29
for a layout diagram.
N O T 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 engines 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.
