Before operating the washdown pump, make
sure that the seacock at the baitwell pump is
in the open position before turning on the
pump. The seacock is wide open when the
seacock lever is in the vertical position.
When the seacock lever is in the horizontal
position, the seacock is closed. The seacock
should remain closed when the baitwell
and/or washdown pumps are not in use.
The washdown fitting is located in the port aft
corner of the cockpit. Just turn the black cap
to open the fitting and connect a standard
garden hose to the fitting.

To turn on the washdown pump, locate the washdown switch on the instrument panel and press the switch to the
forward position. If you turn on the washdown pump switch and you do not feel pressure, the seacock may not be
open. Verify that the seacock is open and depress the switch again. When not in use, the washdown switch
should be left in the off (down or aft) position.
The switch for the washdown pump should be left in the off position if the washdown system is not going to be
used soon. The round filter attached to the side of the washdown pump should be removed and cleaned often
with running water.
Fish Boxes with Macerator Pump
Your boat is equipped with 2 aft fish boxes. The port and starboard fish
boxes in the aft cockpit area have a combined capacity of 74 gallons (37
gallons each). They are both plumbed to a fish box macerator pump that is
mounted on the outside of the port aft stringer. The fish box pump is
accessible by removing the dual battery switch and tackle box compartment
located at the port aft corner of the transom. The fish box macerator pump
operates on a 2-way rocker switch (labeled fish box) that is located on the
switch panel.
To operate the fish box macerator pump, fill either of the aft fish boxes with water. Then, depress the fish box
switch to the on position. The water and fish particles will be pumped out of the tubs and then overboard via the
fish box thru hulls on the side of the boat. When you are finished emptying the fish boxes, place the fish box
switch in the aft position to turn off the fish box macerator pump.
Fresh Water System
Note: There must be fresh water in the fresh water tank in order for the pump to operate
properly. Operating the pump with an empty tank could cause serious damage to the pump.
Fresh Water Pump
The fresh water pump is located on top of the port side stringer. It is accessible by removing
the compartment that houses the optional dual battery switches and/or the tackle box that
are installed behind the transom door. Depressing the fresh water switch located on the
switch panel to the forward position provides power to the fresh water pump.
The fresh water system hose is located just outside the transom door, behind a white
cap/cover. Pull open the cap and pull out the faucet/shower nozzle and hose. Press the
button on the nozzle to ensure proper operation (water spraying).
When you are finished, stow away the transom fresh water hose and cover the outlet with the white rubber cap. If
the fresh water system is not in going to be in use, return to the switch panel and turn the fresh water switch to the
