Systems
Ball Valves
Ball valves can be used to serve several purposes. They allow
seawater to enter the boat, in the case of livewells, and they
also act as a safeguard to stop water from entering. To tell
which position a ball valve is in, open or closed, look at the
valve and determine the direction of flow. When the ball
valve handle is in the same position as the direction of flow,
the valve is in the “OPEN” position. When the ball valve
handle appears to cross the direction of flow, the valve is in
the “CLOSED” position.
2400 Open Deck drain System
The deck
drain system is equipped with 1 1/2” thru hull fittings through the
transom.
These fittings have to be installed lower than the drains in the cockpit floor so that
gravity will allow the cockpit to drain free of water. This puts these fittings very close to
the water line of the hull. These drains are rigged with ball valves that can be opened
and closed to control the flow of water. The ball valves can be accessed in the bilge,
through the bilge access hatch. In the open position, these ball valves will allow water to
flow freely from the cockpit, thus making the boat “self
-
bailing”. W
hen closed, no water
will be allowed to travel to or from the cockpit.
2400 Open Livewell Pump Assembly
The livewell pump assembly is composed of a scoop strainer
mounted to the bottom of the hull, a thru hull fitting, ball
valve assembly, and the pump. As you can see, the ball valve
assembly is in the “OPEN” position. This is the correct
position for the operation of the livewell.
Trolling Motor Wiring
Trolling Motor/Wiring System
Your Pathfinder 2400 Open comes standard with a 36V trolling motor wiring system.
The trolling motor battery bank and breaker panel are located inside the console. A
trolling motor mounting plate was built into the bow of your Pathfinder during the
Livewell Pump Assembly in the “OPEN” Position
