Check all fuel system components before each season and inspect regularly during the season for any leaks, bad
hose connections or blockages. It is important that the fuel system is leak-free. See the Maintenance/Care section
for more information.
7. Bilge
The lowest part of the boat where incidental water drains is called the bilge. Water drains into the bilge during rainy
weather or heavy storms. Some models are equipped with a bilge pump to remove this water through the hull. The
bilge pump is in the bottom, aft of the boat near the drain plug.
To operate the bilge pump, engage the bilge switch; the pump will operate if the switch is engaged. If there is any
water in the bilge, it will shoot out from the bilge drain opening. Be sure to turn off the bilge switch to avoid damaging
the pump after the water is drained.
Occasionally check that debris is not jamming the pump impeller. Periodically inspect the electrical connections to
make sure that they are waterproof. All plumbing must be secure because most of the pump is below water level
and a leak will allow water into the boat. See the Maintenance/Care section for more information.
8. Livewell System
Livewell systems have a single pump that circulates water to the livewell through the spray nozzle. Some models
may be equipped with a livewell drain and a built-in overflow. Water will drain overboard when the level reaches
the overflow opening in the livewell. To drain the livewell, remove the drain plug from the drain hole.
Livewell systems can only be used when the boat is in the water. To operate:
1. Push the drain plug into the drain hole.
2. Check the seacock in the bilge and insure it is in the open position (handle straight up).
3. To operate the livewell pump switch on the switch to the on position. The tank will start to fill up. Once
the tank is full, it will recirculate water through the overflow drain if the switch is on.
4. If no water is flowing, you may have trash blocking your livewell scoop. Turn off the pump and try running
your boat in reverse for a few minutes, then check again. If that does not work: If you have a trailer, load
your boat on the trailer and check the scoop for trash. If you do not have a trailer and do not have the
proper knowledge on how to check out the problem, take your boat to the dealer.
5. To drain the livewell tank, turn livewell pump OFF and remove the drain plug from the drain hole.
6. Close the seacock.
9. Depth Gauge
Some models are equipped with a factory installed depth gauges. The depth gauge will provide you with a reading
of the depth of the water in which the boat is navigating.
To avoid damage to the livewell system, never operate in
freezing weather. Operating the pump in freezing
weather could damage or break the pump. Water that
freezes in hoses will expand and could burst the hose.
