Maintenance
Maintenance of the fishwell and recirculating water system will require you to check the fittings and
hoses to make sure that there are no leaks. If the system does require maintenance, contact your
local dealer.
If you are storing the boat during the winter, we recommend you winterize the system.
To Winterize the Fishwell Pumpout & Recirculating Fresh Water System:
1. Drain the water out of all of the hoses in the fishwell / recirculating fresh water system.
7. Fire Prevention
Fire is a serious boating hazard. Boats will burn quickly. Do not remain onboard and fight a fire for
more than a few moments. If the fire is out of control and cannot be put out with the fire suppression
equipment onboard, abandon ship immediately.
The boat, when in service shall be equipped with the following portable fire extinguisher:
1. Fire Rating 13A 89B C
The boat owner/operator shall:
1. Have the fire fighting equipment checked at the intervals indicated on the equipment.
2. Replace portable fire extinguisher, if expired or discharged, by devices of identical fire fighting
capacity.
3. Have fixed systems refilled or replaced when expired or discharged.
4. Ensure that the fire fighting equipment is readily accessible when the boat is occupied.
5. Inform the members of the crew about the location and operation of the fire fighting
equipment, the locations of discharge openings in to the engine space, and the locations of
escape routes and exits.
6. Keep the bilges clean and check for fuel and gas vapors or fuel leaks frequently.
The fire extinguisher is located on the starboard side of the vessel, under the helm seat.
