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.
Note: Boats that are equipped with an optional generator and/or air conditioner will have
additional brass seacocks and a strainer installed in the aft (generator) and mid-ship (air
conditioner) bilges to filter seawater. These seacocks should be closed when the
generator and/or air conditioner are not in use.
Bilge Pumps
The boat is equipped with three (3) bilge pumps that are installed as standard equipment. Since there
are 3 bilge pumps, there are 3 bilge pump switches to choose from on the switch panel. The locations of
the 3 bilge pumps and the labeling of the bilge pump switches are as follows:
•
Bilge 1 - This 1100 gph bilge pump is located in the aft bilge. If your vessel is equipped
with an optional generator, this pump will be located just forward of the generator.
•
Bilge 2 - This 1500 gph bilge pump is your high water bilge pump. This pump is located
just aft of the 1100 gph bilge pump.
•
Fwd Bilge - This 500 gph bilge pump can be accessed via the panel under the mattress
in the mid berth.
There are 2 steps in properly checking the bilge pumps. First, turn on one of the bilge pumps at the
instrument panel by pressing the applicable bilge pump switch to the on or forward position. This action
should illuminate the light on the switch. 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. Each
pump is equipped with an automatic float switch (white box) that is mounted next to or in close proximity
to the bilge pump. As long as your boat is equipped with an operable battery, each pump will operate
independently when water is present in the area. Each 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 each automatic float switch monthly.
