2870 WALKAROUND
Chapter 6:
RAW WATER SYSTEM
6.1 General
In the raw or sea water systems, all water pumps are supplied by hoses connected to ball valves and
thru hull fittings located in the bilge compartment. Always make sure the ball valves are open before
attempting to operate any component of the raw water system. 12-volt pumps supply sea water to
most of the various accessories.
Priming the System
Make sure the ball valves are open. Open the hose connector for the raw water washdown and
activate the pressure pump by turning the washdown pump switch to the “ON” position. Run the
pump until all of the air is purged from the system and then turn the switch “OFF.” Turn the livewell
switch to the “ON” position. Run the pump until all of the air is purged from the system and then
turn the switch to the “OFF” position. Closing the thru hull ball valves before the boat is hauled
from the water will help to eliminate air locks in raw water systems.
Note: It may be necessary to reprime the raw water system if the system is not used for an
extended period and at the time of launching.
