Water drains out of the cockpit through the two aft cockpit drains located at each of the
back corners of the cockpit. The drains run water via hoses out of the sides of the hull.
None of 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 new and improved livewell system on the 2400 TRS keeps bait alive longer than any
other system on the market. It has a dual inflow system and a unique 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 Pathfinder 2400 TRS comes with two standpipes
and a pacifier-style drain plug to control water levels
inside the livewell. The smaller standpipe is for use with
crustaceans like shrimp and crabs that prefer a lower
water level. The taller standpipe is for baitfish, and the
drain plug is to hold water or seal the compartment. The
standpipes should be placed in the hole located in the
starboard aft section of the livewell. Make sure that the
standpipe is firmly secured before covering the area with
the plexiglass cover. Make sure that the bigger holes in
the plexiglass cover are at the bottom before it is secured. Secure the cover by twisting
the tabs located on both sides. 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
