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.
Baitwell Pump
The baitwell switch at the helm controls the baitwell pump. The pump,
mounted on a seacock, is installed in the bilge area and is accessible
through the bilge hatch on the aft deck.
To operate the baitwell system: 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.
The 15-gallon capacity baitwell tub is located below the transom
seat and comes equipped with an aerator head and standpipe.
Washdown Pump
To operate the washdown system: Locate the washdown switch on the console and press the switch to
the forward position to turn on the washdown pump. Then, locate the washdown fitting at the port aft
corner of the cockpit. Twist the cap off the fitting and attach a standard garden hose to the fitting.

•
Bilge - This 1100 gph bilge pump is located in the aft bilge area and can be accessed via
