5.3 Livewell
Sea water is provided to the livewell by a 12-volt pump. This pump is designed to carry a constant flow of
water to the livewell. The pump is activated by the livewell switch in the helm panel. An overflow built into
the livewell automatically controls the water level in the livewell. Always turn the pump off at the switch panel
when the livewell is not in use.
The livewell pump is equipped with a sea strainer on the intake hose. It is located in the bilge below the access
hatches in the splashwell. This should be checked frequently and cleaned as necessary.
To fill the livewell, insert the plug into the drain fitting at the bottom of the livewell. Make sure the valve
at the intake thru-hull fitting is open and activate the livewell switch. When the water level reaches the
overflow, it will begin to circulate.
To drain the livewell, turn off the livewell pump and pull out the plug in the drain fitting at the bottom of
the livewell. When the livewell has completely drained, use the washdown hose to flush the livewell and drain
debris. The livewell drain and overflow are routed to overboard drains.
The livewell supply thru-hull valve should be closed whenever the livewell is not in use. This will prevent
water from entering the livewell while the boat is cruising.
DO NOT USE THE LIVEWELL AS A DRY STORAGE AREA WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE.
SEAWATER COULD ACCIDENTALLY BE DELIVERED TO THE LIVEWELL FROM THE
THRU-HULL FITTING AND DAMAGE EQUIPMENT STORED THERE.
DO NOT RUN THE LIVEWELL PUMP DRY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AS DAMAGE TO
THE PUMP WILL RESULT.
5.4 Drainage
GENERAL
All water is drained by gravity to overboard thru-hull fittings located in the hull sides above the waterline.
Some of the drain thru-hull fittings are equipped with ball valves that are always open under normal operating
conditions. In the event of an emergency, the valves can be closed to prevent sea water from entering the
boat through the drainage system.
SITUATIONS REQUIRING ONE OR MORE DRAIN VALVES TO BE CLOSED CAN BE PO-
TENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO THE BOAT AND YOUR CREW. IF THIS OCCURS, DISTRIB-
UTE PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES TO THE CREW AND TAKE ALL NECESSARY
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, INCLUDING NOTIFYING THE COAST GUARD, UNTIL THE PROB-
LEM IS FOUND AND CORRECTED.
