Livewell System
The new and improved livewell system on the 2600 HPS 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 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 Pathfinder 2600 HPS 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 bigger holes in the plexiglass cover 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 doing any work on the livewell pump or plumbing that could
potentially allow the inflow of water. Failure to do so will result in
outside water entering the bilge area.
