The raw water washdown system is equipped with a sea
strainer on the intake side of the pump. This should be
checked frequently and cleaned as necessary.
The Washdown Pump Connector
The washdown hose connection is located on the starboard
side of the cockpit and uses a standard garden hose. It is
equipped with a valve that allows the flow of water to be
turned on or off at the hose connection.
ALWAYS TURN THE RAW WATER WASHDOWN
SWITCH TO THE “OFF” POSITION WHEN LEAVING
THE BOAT UNATTENDED.
6.3 Livewells
Seawater is provided to the livewell pumps by thru-hull fittings
in the bilge. The starboard livewell is supplied seawater from
the livewell pump in the starboard stern bilge compartment
and the port livewell is supplied by the livewell pump in the
port stern bilge compartment. The pumps are designed to
carry a constant flow of water to each livewell. There is a
sea strainer on the intake side of each pump that should be
checked frequently and cleaned as necessary. The pumps are
activated individually by two Baitwell switches in the helm
switch panel.
A built in overflow drain fitting in each livewell controls the
water level. Always turn the pumps off when the livewells
are not in use.
To fill the livewell, insert the drain plug 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 Baitwell switch.
When the water level reaches the overflow, it will begin to
circulate.
To drain the livewell, turn off the pump and pull out the drain
plug 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 livewells as a dry storage area when
they are not in use. Seawater could accidently be
delivered to the livewell from the thru-hull fitting
and damage equipment stored there.

6.4 Air Conditioning
The air conditioner is seawater cooled. A 120-volt centrifugal
raw water pump supplies seawater that cools the condensing
unit as it circulates through the system and is discharged
overboard. The AC pump for the air conditioner is located
below the water line in the port stern bilge compartment
and is automatically activated whenever the air conditioning
system is operating.
Seawater is supplied to the pump from a thru-hull fitting located
in the bilge near the pump. A sea strainer between the pump
and thru-hull fitting protects the system from contaminants
that could damage the pump or the system. Make sure the
pump receives adequate seawater by periodically cleaning the
sea strainer basket. You should refer to the air conditioner
owner’s manual for more information on the operation and
maintenance of the air conditioner.
