• Add a commercially available potable
water conditioner to the water tank to
keep it fresh.
• Make sure the fresh water system switch
is "OFF" when leaving the boat unat-
tended or when not in use.
Raw Water System
Perform these routine maintenance proce-
dures to maintain your raw water system:
• Check hoses for signs of deterioration,
especially the sea water hoses.
• Remove and clean livewell, air condi-
tioner and washdown pump sea water
strainers, as needed. Spray pumps and
thru-hull valves with a metal protector
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.
If a hose ruptures or leaks, turn off pump
immediately. Keep the thru-hull valve closed
when performing service on a sea water sys-
tem.
The fresh and raw water systems must be
winterized properly before storage. Refer to
Winterizing.
Drainage Systems
Perform these routine maintenance proce-
dures to maintain your drainage system:
• Clean the cockpit drain rails with a hose
and water to remove all debris.
• Clean the hardtop leg drain holes, espe-
cially before winter storage.
• Clean the bilge pump and automatic float
switch strainers of any debris. Check the
bilge for debris that can block the func-
tion of automatic switch.
• Test rear automatic bilge pump switch
and high water alarm float switch each
time the boat is used, for proper opera-
tion. Operate the knob or lever on the
side of the switch until the pump is acti-
vated, 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 free flowing.
• Clean and inspect the shower and sink
drain sump system. Remove accumu-
lated debris and flush with fresh water.
Test the automatic sump pump switch for
proper operation, frequently.
• Clean and flush the fishbox and cooler/
storage boxes with a mild 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 regularly to
ensure it is free flowing and hoses on the
thru-hull fittings are secure and not leak-
ing.

If a hose ruptures, turn pump off
immediately. Close the thru-hull valve
before performing maintenance on
sea water pump. Operating any pump
from a low-charged battery can lead to
a pump failure. Keep the batteries
properly charged. The raw water sys-
tem must be properly winterized prior
to winter lay-up. Refer to Winterizing.
