6/Raw Water & Freshwater Systems
6.1 General
Your boat is equipped with a freshwater system; the components are a freshwater tank, distribution
lines, a showerhead assembly, sink/shower faucet (inside console), and a pump. The standard raw
water system consists of a high-speed pick-up, located on the transom, a pump and one or more
livewells and washdowns.
6.2 Livewell Operation
A low maintenance centrifugal pump installed in the bilge fills the livewell. The pump is controlled
by the livewell switch on the control panel. To operate properly, the valve inside the livewell must
be adjusted to provide an even flow in and out of the livewell. Too much and it will be more than
the drain can handle, too little and the water will not get the proper circulation. The valve should
be turned counterclockwise to open and clockwise to close. There is a strainer attached to the
overboard drain to regulate the height of the water level. The livewell drains through a hose
connected to a thru hull fitting on the port side of the boat. To completely drain the livewell, remove
the bottom plug and allow the water to drain overboard. A diagram of the raw water system is
included with this manual.
6.3 High Pressure Washdown
The washdown system is comprised of a diaphragm pump, mounted in the starboard aft
motorwell area and reached through the aft deck access doors, and a washdown fitting to attach a
hose. The pump is controlled by the washdown switch on the control panel. The diaphragm pump
is fed through the same thru hull and high-speed pickup as the livewell
pump. The washdown hose outlet is located forward under the starboard
gunnel board. With an attached hose, this system can be used to wash
debris from the boat. The switch should be turned on immediately prior to
use and turned off when not in use. When activated, the pump’s pressure
switch will automatically control the pump. It is normal for the pump to cycle
on and off in response to flow rates and water demand.
Always turn off the high-pressure washdown pump switch when leaving the boat
unattended.
6.4 Freshwater System
The freshwater system is comprised of a diaphragm pump, mounted in the starboard aft motorwell
area and reached through the aft deck access doors, and two showerhead assemblies. The pump
is controlled by the freshwater switch on the control panel. The diaphragm pump is fed by a
freshwater tank located aft of the fuel tank cavity. One showerhead assembly is located in the
transom area starboard side sink; the other is inside the console at the sink. The freshwater
switch should be turned on immediately prior to use and turned off when not in use. When
activated, the pump’s pressure switch will automatically control the pump. It is normal for the
pump to cycle on and off in response to flow rates and water demand.
Always turn off the freshwater pump switch when leaving the boat unattended.
