EACOCKS
Ball valve seacocks are installed on the inlet thru hulls for the livewell and washdown
systems. It is necessary for the seacocks to be in the open position to operate the livewell and
washdown systems. The open position is identified by the orientation of the handle. If the handle
is in line or parallel to the body of the valve, the seacock is in the open position. If the handle is
perpendicular to the body of the valve the seacock is in the closed position. Remote seacock arms
are installed on the seacock handles. These arms extend into the area beneath the starboard aft
seat. Pull on these rods to open the seacock and push to close.

ATER
To operate the livewell, open the seacock located on the starboard side of the aft rigging
compartment using the remote arm labeled livewell. The livewell pump is screwed directly into
this seacock. Place the livewell switch at the helm in the "on" position and plug the drain fitting in
the bottom of the livewell. Water will enter through an inlet near the top of the livewell. The water
will rise to a depth even with the strainer on the overflow fitting and drain overboard.

PERATION
To operate the washdown, open the seacock on starboard side of the aft bilge using the remote
arm labeled washdown. Depress the washdown switch on the accessory switch panel. This system
will now be pressurized at the washdown faucet outlet. This faucet may be used alone or with a
hose. A hose with a spray nozzle attached may be used intermittently without turning the switch
off in the same fashion as a home yard hose with a nozzle. The washdown pump has an internal
pressurization switch that will maintain water pressure as needed until the switch is turned off at
the switch panel. The pump is mounted to the transom in the aft port storage compartment. See
“Livewell/Washdown Layout” on page 8–16 for a layout diagram.
C A U T I O N
All seacocks should be in the closed position if not in use or if the boat is unattended to prevent the
taking on of water if a plumbing component fails.
N O T I C E
If the seacock is left open and the pump is not on, the boat’s forward motion through the water
will gradually fill the box. To prevent this inadvertent filling, close the seacock when the livewell
option is not in use.
Under certain conditions placing the outboard engine in reverse will ventilate the water under the
boat and create an air lock in the livewell pump. To prevent an air lock, turn the livewell off prior
to any high RPM or constant reverse operation. If the livewell pump becomes air locked, correct
this situation by turning the pump off for 20 seconds.
