Sea Water System
Baitwell and/or Washdown Pump
The baitwell switch at the helm controls the baitwell and/or washdown pump. The pump and seacock are
mounted in the bilge and are accessible through the bilge hatch on the transom. Raw water for the
baitwell tub and raw water washdown system comes through the seacock, to the pump and then to the
baitwell tub and/or raw water washdown outlet. Before turning the pump on from the helm, check to be
sure that the seacock is open. The seacock is wide open when the yellow seacock lever is vertical.
When the yellow seacock lever is horizontal, the seacock is closed. The seacock in the photo is shown in
the open position. The seacock should remain closed when the pump is not in use.
The 20-gallon capacity baitwell tub
is located below the transom seat.
It comes equipped with an aerator
head that allows circulation to
keep bait alive, a plug for the drain
and a baitwell light.
Even when the baitwell pump is
turned off, if the seacock is open,
the baitwell tub will continue to fill
with water while underway.
To operate the baitwell system: Locate the baitwell switch on the console and press the switch to the
forward position to turn on the pump. When the baitwell pump is operating, go to the baitwell tub, open
the baitwell lid and visually check to see if water is pumping into the tub through the aerator fitting. If
water is not entering the baitwell tub, the aerator fitting may not be open. To turn the baitwell pump off,
press the baitwell switch to the aft position. You should always turn the baitwell switch off at the helm if
the pump is not going to be used soon.

If you find it necessary to run the baitwell pump while you are underway, you may be forcing more water
than necessary up through the seacock. In this instance, adjust the seacock lever to a 45
o
angle so that
the seacock is only halfway open. The seacock lever may require additional adjustments to find a setting
that works best for you.
To operate the washdown system: Locate the baitwell switch on the console and press the switch to the
forward position to turn on the baitwell/washdown pump. Then, locate the black washdown fitting at the
port aft corner of the transom. Twist the cap off the fitting and attach a standard garden hose to the
