6.3 Livewell
Seawater is provided to the Livewell by a 12-volt diaphragm pump. This pump is designed to
carry a constant flow of water to the livewell. The pump is activated by the baitwell switch in
the cockpit. The baitwell switch also activates the light in the livewell.
An overflow built into the livewell automatically controls the water level in the livewell. Always
turn the pump off at the switch panel when the livewell is not in use.
The livewell pump is equipped with a sea strainer on the intake hose for the pump. It is located
in the bilge below the access hatches in the transom splashwell. This should be checked
frequently and cleaned as necessary.
To fill the livewell, insert the plug into the drain fitting at the bottom of the livewell. Make sure
the valve at the intake thru hull fitting is open and activate the baitwell switch. When the water
level reaches the overflow, it will begin to circulate.
To drain the livewell, turn off the livewell pump and pull out the plug in the drain fitting at the
bottom of the livewell. When the livewell has completely drained, use the washdown hose to
flush the livewell and drain of debris.
The livewell supply thru hull valve should be closed whenever the livewell is not in use. This
will prevent water from entering the livewell while the boat is cruising.
Note: Do not use the livewell as a dry storage area when it is not in use. Sea water could
accidently be delivered to the livewell from the thru hull fitting and damage
equipment stored there.
DO NOT RUN THE LIVEWELL PUMP DRY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AS DAMAGE
TO THE PUMP WILL RESULT.
ALWAYS TURN THE LIVEWELL PUMP SWITCH TO THE “OFF” POSITION WHEN
LEAVING THE BOAT UNATTENDED.
