area on top of the
port aft stringer.
Seacock is

closed position.
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
water is not entering the baitwell tub, the aerator fitting may not be open. See the photos below to make
sure that the lever on the aerator fitting is in the open position. 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 soon

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. Even when the baitwell pump is turned off, if the seacock is open, the baitwell
tub will continue to fill with water while you are underway.
The 18-gallon baitwell tub is located in the port aft corner of the
cockpit.
The optional fiberglass leaning post and backrest comes equipped
with a 25 capacity baitwell tub. Both baitwell tubs come equipped
with an aerator head and a standpipe. When the optional baitwell
tub is selected, the standard baitwell tub is not connected to the
baitwell pump and the standard tub becomes a storage
compartment, cooler, etc.
