Scout Boats 262 Abaco, Owner'S Manual, Page: 44 / 120

The raw water washdown system is equipped with a strainer
on the intake side of the pump located in the bilge below the
cockpit. This should be checked frequently and cleaned as
necessary.
The Washdown Hose Connection
The washdown hose or quick connectors are located in the
cockpit. There are two connectors, one for the fresh water
washdown and one for the raw water washdown. Make sure
the hose is attached to the connector labeled “Raw Water”
ALWAYS TURN THE WASH DOWN PUMP SWITCH TO
THE “OFF” POSITION WHEN LEAVING THE BOAT
UNATTENDED.
6.3 Livewell
Seawater is provided to the livewell pump by a thru-hull
fitting located near the pump in the stern bilge. This pump is
designed to carry a constant flow of water to the livewell. The
pump is activated by the Aerator switch in the helm switch
panel.
An overflow tube in the drain fitting automatically controls the
water level in the livewell. Always turn the pump off when
the livewell is not in use.
To fill the livewell, insert the overflow tube into the drain fitting
at the bottom of the livewell. Make sure the valve at the intake
thru-hull fitting is open and activate the Aerator switch in helm
switch panel. 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
overflow tube in the drain fitting at the bottom of the livewell.
When the livewell has completely drained, use the washdown
hose to flush the livewell and drain of debris.
Note: Do not use the livewell as a dry storage area when
it is not in use. Seawater could accidently be deliv-
ered to the livewell from the thru-hull fitting and
damage equipment stored there.
ALWAYS TURN THE LIVEWELL PUMP SWITCH TO
THE “OFF” POSITION WHEN LEAVING THE BOAT
UNATTENDED.
