Sea Water System
Baitwell with Raw Water Washdown and Baitwell Light
Baitwell Pump is located in
aft bilge area on top of the
port aft stringer
Seacock is shown in the closed
position
The baitwell switch at the helm controls the
baitwell/washdown pump. The pump is mounted
on the starboard stringer and is accessible via the
bilge hatch. The seacock, which is mounted in the
center of the bilge, is also accessible via the bilge
hatch. 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 should remain closed
when the pump is not in use.
Note: The round filter attached to the side of the washdown pump should be removed and
cleaned often with running water.
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. See the photos below to make sure
that the lever on the aerator fitting is in the open position. 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 degree 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. Even when the baitwell pump is turned off, if the seacock is open, the baitwell tub will continue to fill
with water while you are underway.
The baitwell tub is located in the port aft corner of the cockpit.
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 on the
starboard side of the motor well. Twist the cap off the
fitting and attach a standard garden hose to the fitting.
The small lever on the washdown fitting needs to be in
the open position, as shown in the photo below, to
allow water to flow through the fitting.
