SELF-BAILING COCKPIT & LIVEWELL
Self Bailing Cockpit
The cockpit on your Redfisher is designed to be self-bailing, so that all water that comes into the cockpit can
immediately flush out of the boat. This avoids holding standing water and allows the boat
to drain at all times, including while docked.
Water drains out of the cockpit through the two aft cockpit drains located at each of the
back corners of the cockpit. The drains run water directly out of the hullsides. No water is
drained into the bilge area. Included in the ditty bag are 2 1 1/4” plugs in the event that
you want to seal the cockpit from any water intrusion from the outside through these
drains.
The bilge is designed to drain any water entering the inside of the hull. Livewell and
cockpit drains are closed systems that flush water out of their respective thru hull drains.
All hoses are sealed and double clamped during construction. Continuous or periodic
running of the automatic bilge pump may be an indication of a hose leak or break in a
seal and should be investigated by your local Hewes dealer immediately.
Livewell System
The new and improved livewell system on the Redfisher keeps bait alive longer than any other system on the market. It has a dual
inflow system and a unique drain system that prevents dead zones and quickly expels any harmful chemicals (such as ammonia)
from the water.
The livewell system takes water through our exclusive Sea Chest system. With this
system, water enters the Sea Chest through a grate located at the bottom of the
boat.
The boat is shipped with the shut-off valve turned to the “off” position (at a 90-degree
angle). To start using your livewell, turn the shut-off valve counterclockwise so that it
is in line with the pipe to open the system to water flow. This shut-off valve is also in
place in case of the unlikely event of a leak while out on the water.
Your Redfisher comes with two standpipes and a pacifier-style drain plug to control
water levels inside the livewell. The smaller standpipe is for use with crustaceans like shrimp and crabs that prefer a lower water
level. The taller standpipe is for baitfish, and the drain plug is to hold water or seal the compartment. The standpipes should be
placed in the hole located in the starboard aft section of the livewell. Make sure that the standpipe is firmly secured before covering
the area with the plexiglass cover. Make sure that the plexiglass cover is arranged so that the bigger holes are at the bottom before
it is secured. Secure the cover by twisting the tabs located on both sides. On rare occasions, the livewell will not pump water even
though the switch is turned on, the system is open and the livewell pump is running. If that occurs, shift the throttle into reverse and
back the boat several feet to purge a possible air pocket in the system. If there appears to be a clog in the drain, remove the grate
and clear the top of the standpipe of any detritus.
Your boat might come with an optional recirculation system. This is a closed system that recycles the water already within the well.
This system is also controlled by a switch on the switch panel and allows the boat operator to operate the livewell without an
outside feed. This is ideal if you are transporting bait from different water extremes.
*--NOTE--Be sure to turn the shut-off valve to the 90-degree off position BEFORE unscrewing the filter cap (see
photo above). Failure to do so will result in outside water entering the bilge area.
