The 27-gallon capacity baitwell tub is located aft of the starboard helm seat and comes equipped with an
aerator head and standpipe.
Raw water for the baitwell and raw water washdown systems comes through the seacock, to the pump
and then to the baitwell aerator head and/or raw water washdown outlet. Before turning the pump on
from the helm, check to be sure that the seacock and the applicable fitting are both in the open position.
The seacock is wide open when the yellow seacock lever is vertical. When the yellow seacock lever is
horizontal, the seacock is closed. The seacock should remain closed when the pump is not in use.

closed position.
Note: The round filter attached to the side of the washdown pump should be removed
and cleaned often with running water.
To operate the baitwell system: Check to make sure that
the lever on the aerator fitting is in the open position as
shown in the photo at the right. The lever is in the open
position when it is turned to run the length of the fitting. It is
closed when it is horizontal to the fitting.
Locate the baitwell switch on the console and press the switch to the forward position to turn on the
pump. When the baitwell pump is operating, go to the baitwell tub, open the baitwell lid and visually
check to see if water is pumping into the tub through the aerator fitting.
If you find it necessary to run the baitwell pump while you are underway, you may be forcing more water
than necessary up through the seacock. In this instance, adjust the seacock lever to a 45
o
angle so that
the seacock is only halfway open. The seacock lever may require additional adjustments to find a setting
that works best for you.
To turn the baitwell pump off, press the baitwell switch to the aft position. You should always turn the
baitwell switch off at the helm if the pump is not going to be used for an extended period of time.
To operate the washdown system: Locate the baitwell switch on the console and press the switch to the
forward position to turn on the baitwell/washdown pump. Then, locate the black washdown fitting at the
starboard side of the motor well. Twist the cap off the fitting and attach a standard garden hose to the
fitting. The small lever on the washdown fitting needs to be in the open position in order to direct water
through the washdown fitting. See photos below for the proper setting of the lever.
