5.3 Livewell
Seawater is provided to the port and star-
board livewells by 12-volt circulating pumps.
These pumps are designed to carry a con-
stant flow of water to the livewells. The pumps
are activated by the livewell switches on the
port and starboard aft cockpit switch panels.
An overflow built into the livewell automati -
cally controls livewell water level. Always turn
the LIVEWELL pump switches OFF when not
in use.
To fill the livewell, plug the drain fitting at the
bottom of the livewell. Make sure the ball
valve at the intake thru-hull fitting is open
and turn ON the LIVEWELL switch. When the
water level reaches the overflow, it will begin
to circulate.
To drain, turn off the pump and remove the
plug. When the livewell has drained, use
the washdown hose to flush the livewell and
drain debris.
Close the livewell thru-hull ball valve when-
ever the livewell is not in use to prevent water
from entering while the boat is cruising. The
livewell pump is equipped with a sea strainer
on the intake side of the pump located in the
aft bilge. Check it frequently and clean as
necessary.
Do not use the livewell for stowage. Seawater
can enter the livewell when it is not in use and
damage stowed equipment.
5.4 Drainage
General
Some drain thru-hull fittings are equipped
with ball valves that are always open under
normal operating conditions. Check and oper-
ate the drain valves at least once a month
to make sure they are in good condition and
operating properly. Also, check the drain sys-
tem to ensure it is free flowing and that the
hoses on the thru-hull fittings are secure and
not leaking.
Review and become familiar with the drain-
age schematic and location of the thru-hull
drain valves. Refer to Appendix F.
In the event of an emergency, close the
valves to prevent sea water from entering the
boat through the drainage system. NOTE:
Having one or more drain valves closed can
be dangerous to the boat and all onboard.
If this occurs, distribute PFD’s and take all
necessary safety precautions, including noti-
fying the Coast Guard or local agency, until
the problem is determined and corrected.
Bilge Drainage
The aft 1500 GPH bilge pumps are located
in the stern bilge, and the forward 900 GPH
pump is located at the forward end of the
aft machinery space. All bilge pumps pump
water out of thru-hulls located above the
waterline in the hull. A high water bilge alarm
monitors excessive bilge water levels and sig-
nals a high water condition through a visual
and audible alarm. Under this condition, the
aft manual bilge pump will be activated and
the boat horn will sound until the bilge water
falls to a safe level. See section 4, Electrical
Systems, for additional information on bilge
pump and high water bilge alarm operations.
The aft bilge pump system consists of two
pumps, an electronic water level switch,
and a high bilge water alarm system. The
float switch activates the pump that is fully
automatic. The manual aft pump is activated
by turning ON the AFT BILGE switch at the
helm. The forward pump has both automatic
and manual functions; to activate manually,
turn ON the FWD BILGE switch at the helm.
Current is supplied to the automatic float
switches whenever the batteries are con-
nected. The BILGE pump switches at the
helm are supplied current when the house
