Section 5 Plumbing System
OS 285
• Periodically spray the pumps and metal
components with a metal protector.
• Properly maintain and charge the batter-
ies. Operating the pressure pump from a
battery with a low charge can lead to
pump failure.
• Add a commercially available potable
water conditioner to the water tank to
keep it fresh.
Raw Water System
Complete the following items routinely to
maintain your raw water system:
• Check hoses, particularly the seawater
supply lines, for signs of deterioration.
• Remove and clean the seawater strain-
ers for the livewell, air conditioner and
washdown pump, as needed.
• Spray pumps and thru-hull valves with
protective oil periodically.
• Drain and clean the fishboxes and
livewells after each use.
• Operate all thru-hull valves at least once
a month to keep them operating prop-
erly.
Drainage Systems
It is essential to complete the following items
periodically to maintain proper drainage of
your boat:
• Clean the cockpit drains with a hose to
remove debris that can block water
drainage.
• Clean the bilge pump and automatic float
switch strainers of debris and check the
bilge for foreign material that can cause
the automatic switch to malfunction.
• Clean the hardtop leg drain holes, espe-
cially important just before winter lay-up.
• Test the rear automatic bilge pump
switch and high water alarm float switch
before using the boat every time to
ensure proper operation. Operate the
knob or lever on the side of the switch
until the pump activates, or add water to
the bilge until the water level is high
enough to activate the pump.
• Flush all gravity drains with fresh water
to keep them clean and flowing freely.
• Clean and inspect the shower and sink
drain sump system. Remove accumu-
lated debris and flush with fresh water.
Frequently test the automatic pump
switch for proper operation.
• Clean and flush the fishbox and cooler/
storage boxes with soap or a bilge
cleaner and fresh water after each use to
keep them clean and fresh.
• Operate the thru-hull valves once a
month and service as required.
• Check the drain system frequently to
ensure it is flowing freely and that hoses
on the thru-hull fittings are secure and
not leaking.
!
CAUTION
Place the fresh water system switch in
the “off” position when not in use or
when leaving the boat unattended.
!
CAUTION
Should a hose rupture, turn the pump
off immediately. Always close the
thru-hull valve when performing main-
tenance on a seawater pump.
!
CAUTION
Properly maintain and charge the bat-
teries. Operating a pump from a bat-
tery with a low charge can lead to
pump failure.
!
CAUTION
Properly winterize the fresh and raw
water systems prior to winter lay-up.
See the section on winterizing.
!
CAUTION
Properly winterize all drains and
pumps before winter layup.
