starboard bilge compartment, The pump can be reached through the inspection port in the motorwell. The wiring is
secured to the pump using a tie-strap, and must be disconnected prior to removing the pump.
The livewell pump draws water through the strainer mounted on the inboard side of the starboard sponson. A seacock
is installed between the pickup and the pump to allow you to seal the system between use, or in the event of a
plumbing failure.
To operate the livewell, first verify that the seacock is open and install the livewell drain plug. When you have
completed these steps, engage the livewell pump using the console switch pod. The livewell light is also controlled
by the switch. Water will fill the tank until it is level with the overflow drain, which will evacuate water through a
hullside drain. When you have finished using the livewell, remove the drain plug to allow the water to drain
overboard.
NOTICE
While underway, leaving your livewell seacock open could result in inadvertently filling your livewell.
To prevent this, close the seacock when the pump is not in operation.
NOTICE
Operating the engines in reverse can cause excessive ventilation near the livewell intake, causing the
pump to airlock. To prevent this, turn the pumps “OFF” prior to any continuous or high speed reverse
operation. If your pump does becomes air locked, turn the pump “OFF” for 15 to 30 seconds to correct
the problem.
10.1.7 Raw Water System
The raw water pump is located in the starboard aft rigging compartment and can be accessed through the hatch
located on the vertical wall beneath the fold down aft seat. The pump and wiring are mounted on the rigging wall at
the back of the compartment. The raw water pump is connected to the dual purpose livewell pump which brings in
water through a strainer located on the inboard side of the starboard sponson. The livewell/raw water seacock must be
open for the system to work, however, the livewell pump does not have to be “ON”. Similar to the freshwater pump,
the raw water system is controlled by a pressure switch set at 45 psi. The pump will cycle on and off as needed to
maintain this pressure. Most owners leave the pump “on” throughout the day, and use the system when necessary. On
the 255DC, the raw water pump feeds the raw water outlet located outboard of the starboad rear fold down aft seat.
To view the layout of the raw water system see the drawing in section 10.3.10.
10.1.8 Marine Head
The 255DC comes equipped with a marine head in the port changing area. The control panel for the head is located
on the head instrument panel located on the vertical wall adjacent to the toilet. Power is supplied to this panel through
a 25 amp breaker located in the console on the accessory fuse block. The panel controls the water level in the bowl
and the discharge of waste from the head.
Water is supplied to the system from the freshwater tanklocated under the helm. To operate the toilet the freshwater
system must be pressurized. A solenoid, installed near the head inlet, prevents water from filling the bowl prior to
each use. The macerator pump, located at the rear of the toilet, removes waste from the bowl and pumps it into the 10
gallon holding tank.
