Optional Leaning Post Baitwell – One of the optional helm seats includes a 35-gallon baitwell tub that is
plumbed to the existing baitwell pump. Depending on how the boat is ordered by the dealer from the
factory, the 15-gallon standard baitwell tub may or may not be connected to the pump. If the 15-gallon
standard baitwell tub is not plumbed to the baitwell pump, the tub becomes a storage compartment,
cooler, etc.
Washdown Pump
The washdown pump is
mounted on the port aft stringer and is
equipped with a pressure switch. This pump shares the same
seacock with the baitwell pump and is accessible via the bilge hatch.
Before operating the washdown pump, make sure that the seacock at
the baitwell pump is in the open position before turning on the pump.
The seacock is wide open when the seacock lever is in the vertical
position. When the seacock lever is in the horizontal position, the
seacock is closed. The seacock should remain closed when the
baitwell and/or washdown pumps are not in use.
The washdown fitting is located in the port aft corner of the
cockpit. Just turn the black cap to open the fitting and connect a
standard garden hose to the fitting.
To turn on the washdown pump, locate the washdown switch on
the instrument panel and press the switch to the forward position.
If you turn on the washdown pump switch and you do not feel
pressure, the seacock may not be open. Verify that the seacock
is open and depress the switch again. When not in use, the
washdown switch should be left in the off (down or aft) position.
The round filter attached to the side of the washdown pump should be removed and cleaned often with
running water.
Bilge Pump
The 1100 bilge pump is mounted in the aft bilge area
and comes equipped with an automatic float switch
that is installed in close proximity to the pump.
There are 2 steps in properly checking the bilge
pumps. First, turn the on bilge pump at the
instrument panel by pressing the applicable bilge
pump switch to the on or forward position. When the
bilge pump switch is in the on position, the switch
light should be illuminated. To check and see if the
bilge pump is operating, open the hatch over the
applicable bilge pump and listen to hear the bilge
pump running.
Second, turn the bilge pump off at the instrument panel and check the bilge pump float switch. The pump
is equipped with an automatic float switch (white box) that is mounted next to the bilge pump. As long as
your boat is equipped with an operable battery, the pump will operate when water is present in the area.
The float switch is equipped with two plastic knobs located on either side of the switch. Turn either one of
the knobs to raise the float to engage the bilge pump. If the pump comes on, the automatic float is
operating properly. It is recommended that you check the operation of the automatic float switch
monthly.
