SALTWATER BOATS
There are two livewells on saltwater boats: A rear livewell and a right console livewell. On the rear
livewell, the drain is separate from the other hoses. On the console livewell, the drain and overflow
tee together. Both the livewells have fill, aerator, and recirculation switches on the console.
Rinse the livewell and baitwell (if equipped) with fresh clean water, remove any debris from the pick-
up and drain screens, and allow the livewell to air-dry after each use. The pick-up screens are located
at the bottom of the transom, and the drain screens are located in the livewell or baitwell.
NOTE: Your livewell should always be rinsed with fresh clean water. The pick-up screens
and drain screens should be checked and clean before each use to optimize the
system’s performance and longevity.
Livewell Systems
There are seacocks located below the bilge
pump access panel. They are valves at any
water intake or discharge point that is below
the water line. If a hose or through hull fitting
fails, you need to close the seacock valves to
avoid taking on excess outside water. Always
check to make sure the valves open and close
smoothly before operating the boat.
Windshield
Most saltwater models are equipped with a
windshield which can be removed to gain
additional clearance when trailering or storing.
After the windshield is removed, fold down the
stainless rail.
