CAUTION
CAUTION
When the recirculating baitwell is activated by the
Recirc switch, a separate pump will recirculate and
aerate the water that is in the baitwell without
drawing additional sea water into the system. A
valve in the side of the baitwell is used to regulate
the flow of oxygen in the water when the recircu-
lating feature is activated.
The baitwell raw water intake is equipped with a
high speed pickup that will supply water to the
baitwell if the pump should fail and helps prime
the system during normal operation. To supply
water to the baitwell using the high speed pickup,
make sure the seacock valve is open and run the
boat at a speed above 15 miles per hour or above.
Water will circulate through the baitwell and out
the overflow.
To drain the baitwell, turn off the baitwell pump
and remove the plug in the drain fitting. When
the baitwell has completely drained, use the
washdown hose to flush the baitwell and drain
of debris.
The baitwell seacock valve should be closed when-
ever the baitwell is not in use. This will prevent
water from entering the baitwell while the boat is
cruising. Make sure the valve is opened before
operating the raw water washdown.
Notice:
Do not use the baitwell as a dry storage
area when it is not in use. Sea water could
accidently be delivered to the baitwell from
the thru-hull fitting and damage equipment
stored there.
DO NOT RUN THE BAITWELL PUMP DRY FOR EXTENDED
PERIODS AS DAMAGE TO THE PUMP WILL RESULT.
ALWAYS TURN THE BAITWELL PUMP AND RAW WATER
SWITCHES TO THE OFF POSITION AND CLOSE THE
SEACOCK VALVES WHEN LEAVING THE BOAT IN THE WATER
UNATTENDED.
6.4 Raw Water System Maintenance
The following items should be done routinely to
help maintain your raw water system:
• Check hoses, particularly the sea water supply
lines, for signs of deterioration.
Typical Washdown Pump Strainer
STRAINER
• Periodically remove and clean the water
strainer located at the intake side of the
washdown pump.
To clean the strainer, make sure the Raw
Water switch is off and close the valve at
the raw water and baitwell pump intake
thru-hull fitting. Rotate the strainer bowl
counterclockwise to release it. Remove and
clean the screen with freshwater. Lubricate
the O-ring lightly with Teflon or silicon grease
and reinstall the screen and strainer bowl.
• Spray pumps and thru-hull valves with a
protective oil periodically.
• The fishboxes and baitwell should be drained
and cleaned after each use.
• Operate all seacock valves at least once a
month to keep them operating properly.
SHOULD A HOSE RUPTURE, TURN THE PUMP OFF IMMEDIATELY.
ALWAYS CLOSE THE THRU-HULL VALVE WHEN PERFORMING
MAINTENANCE ON A SEA WATER PUMP.
THE BATTERIES MUST BE PROPERLY CHARGED. OPERATING
ANY PUMPS FROM A BATTERY WITH A LOW CHARGE MAY LEAD
TO A PUMP FAILURE.
THE RAW WATER SYSTEM MUST BE PROPERLY WINTERIZED
PRIOR TO WINTER LAY-UP. SEE SECTION ON WINTERIZING.
