Raw Water System
The 211DC features a raw water system for the transom livewell and raw water washdown system.
Raw Water Supply
The 211DC features a single high speed venturi pickup for raw water intake. Before using the boat, it is important to note the location of the seacock and
the means to achieve access to it. In the event of a rupture in a raw water line or pump that allows unrestricted flow of water into the bilge, shutting the
seacock will be critical. The seacock should be checked periodically and the valves moved to verify operation and unrestricted movement. If problems
are found, they should be addressed immediately by your dealer.
Livewell System
There is one 800GPH livewell pump. It is mounted directly to the seacock. The pump provides raw water to the transom livewell. The pump has an
independent switch and circuit breaker (See Electrical Schematics). To use the livewell, it is important to check and verify the seacock are open. Failure
to open the seacock may result in pump failure if the pump is run dry for an extended period of time. The livewell pump are centrifugal pumps that are
not pressure regulated. Therefore, it is recommended that the pump only be used when using the livewell. The pumps are self-priming. Before
activating the pump, make sure the livewell fill valve(s) is/are open and than switch on the pump. It is important to check the livewell pump annually
and periodically spray it/them with a corrosion inhibitor.
Raw Water Washdown System
The 211DC features a standard raw water washdown system. The system is fed by a pump that is located in the aft end of the port transom storage box.
The pump is controlled by a switch and circuit breaker (See Electrical Schematics). Water is supplied to the pump off of the accessory port on the
standard port livewell pump(lower hose connection on the livewell pump). Using the raw water washdown does not require the livewell pump to be on
however the seacock must be open. Failure to open the seacock may result in pump failure/damage if the pump is run dry for an extended period of
time. The raw water pump features an in-line strainer for collecting any debris that could damage the pump. The strainer should be checked before
using the pump. The strainer features a clear cap for easy inspection. If any debris is found, remove the strainer screen by untwisting the clear cap and
clean the screen. The pump features a built in pressure regulator that will shut the pump off when pressure is achieved in the system. The raw water
washdown faucet is located on the port side under the gunwale cap, adjacent to the aft bench seat. If trailering the boat or using the boat after an
extended period of downtime, it will be necessary to prime the washdown pump. Before activating the pump, open the washdown faucet and than
switch on the pump. When the system is free of air, you can either close the faucet or shut off the pump. It is important to check the washdown pump
annually and periodically spray it with a corrosion inhibitor.
System Operation and Maintenance
When using any of the two raw water pumps, it is important to pay attention to the water you are operating the boat in. Operating the pumps in
shallow/muddy water or water with high amounts of floating debris such as grass or trash may result in ingestion and damage the pumps. Loss of
pressure in pumps may be the result of contaminants blocking the thru hulls, binding of the pumps impellor, clogged strainer basket and/or blockage in
lines. When operating in the contaminated water, check the supply of and quality of water to the livewell and/or washdown frequently. Any loss of
pressure or flow should be addressed immediately to prevent damage.
