this water is drained into the bilge. Refer to page 12 for operation of the ball valve
associated with this system.
The bilge is designed to drain any water entering the inside of the hull. Livewell and
cockpit drains are closed systems that flush water out the drain scuppers in the stern. All
hoses are sealed and double clamped during construction. Continuous or periodic
running of the automatic bilge pump may be an indication of a hose leak or break in a
seal and should be investigated by a Pathfinder Dealer immediately. Refer to page 10 for
further information regarding bilge pump operation and maintenance.
Livewell System
The livewell system on the 2400 Open keeps bait alive longer than any other system on
the market. It has a unique inflow system and drain system that prevents dead zones
and quickly expels any harmful chemicals (such as ammonia) from the water.
The boat is shipped with the shut-off valve turned
to the “off” position (at a 90
-degree angle). To start
using your livewell, turn the shut-off valve
counterclockwise so that it is in line with the pipe to
open the system to water flow. This shut-off valve is
also in place in case of the unlikely event of a leak
while out on the water.
Your livewells come with one standpipe and a screw
in style drain plug to control water levels inside the
livewell. The standpipe should be placed in the hole
located in the center of the livewell. On rare
occasions, the livewell will not pump water even
though the switch is turned on, the system is open
and the livewell pump is running. If that occurs
shift the throttle into reverse and back the boat
several feet to purge a possible air pocket in the
system. If there appears to be a clog in the drain, clear the top of the standpipe of any
detritus.
