Section 3 • Systems & Components Overview & Operation

R

Raw Water System (Optional)

There is a raw water fitting included in the Fishing
Package Option and the Livewell Option. The fitting
is located on the starboard side of the motorwell
below the ventilation screen. The 3.5 GPM (13 LPM)
raw water pump is used to supply seawater to the
deck fitting. The fitting allows for connection of a
common garden hose. There is a cap that is tethered
to the fitting and should be on the connection when
it is not in use.

Operation

The optional Livewell and raw-water washdown use
the same pump. The seacock for the pump must be
in the OPEN position before using. The seacock can
be accessed through the lower center opening of the

Maintenance

Maintenance of the raw water system will require
you to check the fittings and hoses for system
integrity to prevent leaks. The system should be run
at least every other month to keep the pumps
impellers in good condition. Clean  the seacock intake
of any debris or build-up when the boat is in drydock
or trailered.

NOTICE

The seacock MUST be in the OPEN position.

Running the pump dry may cause damage to

the unit.
