The raw water washdown system is equipped with a sea strainer on the intake side of the pump located in the
aft bilge. This should be checked frequently and cleaned as necessary.
PRIMING THE SYSTEM
Open the ball valve. Open the hose connector for the raw water washdown and activate the pressure pump.
Run the pump until all of the air is purged from the system. Close the thru-hull ball valve before the boat is
hauled from the water to eliminate an air lock in the system. It may be necessary to reprime the raw water
system if the system is not used for an extended period.
ALWAYS TURN THE RAW WATER PUMP SWITCH TO THE “OFF” POSITION WHEN
LEAVING THE BOAT UNATTENDED.
DO NOT RUN THE HIGH PRESSURE PUMP DRY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AS DAM-
AGE TO THE PUMP WILL RESULT.
5.3 Livewell
Seawater is provided to the livewell by a 12-volt circulating pump. This pump is designed to carry a constant
flow of water to the livewell. The pump is activated by the livewell switch on the helm. 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.
To fill the livewell, insert the plug into the drain fitting at the bottom of the livewell. Make sure the ball valve
at the intake thru-hull fitting is open and turn on the livewell pump. 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. When the livewell
has completely drained, use the washdown hose to flush the livewell and drain debris.
The livewell thru-hull ball valve should be closed whenever the livewell is not in use. This will prevent water
from entering the livewell while the boat is cruising. The livewell pump is equipped with a sea strainer on the
intake side of the pump located in the aft bilge. This should be checked frequently and cleaned as necessary.
DO NOT USE THE LIVEWELL AS A DRY STORAGE AREA WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE.
SEA WATER COULD ACCIDENTALLY 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.
