2870 WALKAROUND
6.2 High Pressure Washdown
A saltwater high pressure pump, controlled by a pressure sensor,
supplies the raw water hose connector located in the cockpit. The
pump is activated by the washdown switch located below the
gunnel in the cockpit. This switch should be turned to the “ON”
position just before using the washdown and be turned to the “OFF”
position when the washdown is not in use.
When activated, the pressure switch will automatically control the
pump. As the pressure builds in the washdown hose, the pump will
shut off. When the washdown hose is in use and the pressure drops,
the pump will turn on.
The raw water washdown system is equipped with a sea strainer on the intake side of the pump
located in the bilge below the stern fishbox. This should be checked frequently and cleaned as
necessary.
The Washdown Pump Connector
The washdown pump hose connector is located in the cockpit and
uses a standard garden hose connection.
ALWAYS TURN THE RAW WATER PUMP SWITCH TO THE “OFF” POSITION WHEN LEAV-
ING THE BOAT UNATTENDED.
DO NOT RUN THE HIGH PRESSURE PUMP DRY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AS DAMAGE
TO THE PUMP WILL RESULT.
