6.4 Raw Water System Maintenance
The following items should be done routinely to help maintain your raw water system.
• Check hoses, particularly the sea water supply line, for signs of deterioration. Replace as
necessary.
• Remove and clean the sea water strainers.
• Spray pumps with a protective oil periodically.
• The fishboxes and livewell should be drained and cleaned after each use.
• Operate all thru hull valves at least once a month to keep them operating properly.
If a light is installed in the livewell, the light assembly is accessed from below the cockpit and
through the center cockpit hatch located near the livewell. If the bulb needs replacing, open the
hatch and carefully work the socket out of the light assembly. The wire should be long enough to
pull the socket and bulb out of the light assembly. Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the base
of the new bulb and insert it into the socket. Care must be taken not to get any oil or petroleum
jelly on the glass portion of the bulbs as this will cause the bulb to overheat and burn out. Insert
the bulb and socket into the light assembly.
SHOULD A HOSE RUPTURE, TURN THE PUMP OFF IMMEDIATELY. ALWAYS CLOSE
THE THRU HULL VALVE WHEN PERFORMING MAINTENANCE ON A SEA WATER PUMP.
THE BATTERIES MUST BE PROPERLY CHARGED. OPERATING ANY PUMPS FROM A
BATTERY WITH A LOW CHARGE MAY LEAD TO A PUMP FAILURE.
THE RAW WATER SYSTEM MUST BE PROPERLY WINTERIZED PRIOR TO WINTER LAY-
UP. SEE SECTION ON WINTERIZING.
