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.
2600 HPS Deckdrain System
The deckdrain
system is equipped with 1 1/2” thru hull fittings
through the aft port and starboard hull sides. 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 through the pie eyes on the port starboard side of the
transom. In the open position, these ball valves will allow water to flow freely from the
cockpit, thus making the boat “self
-
bailing”. When closed, no water will be allowed to
travel to or from the cockpit.
2600 HPS 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.
