5.2 Raw Water Washdown

GENERAL

In the raw water system pump is supplied by hoses connected to a ball valve and thru-hull fitting located in

the bilge accessed under the aft seat.

OPERATION

Always make sure the ball valve is open before attempting to operate the raw water washdown system. The

pump is activated by the washdown switch located in the cockpit. When activated,

the pressure switch will automatically control the pump. As the pressure builds in

the washdown hose, the pump will shut off. When the washdown hose is in use and

the pressure drops, the pump will turn on. Turn the switch off when the washdown

is not in use. The raw water washdown system is equipped with a sea strainer on the

intake side of the pump located in the aft bilge. This should be checked frequently

and cleaned as necessary.

PRIMING THE SYSTEM

Open the ball valve. Open the hose connector for the raw water washdown and

activate the pressure pump. Run the pump until all of the air is purged from the

system. Close the thru-hull ball valve before the boat is hauled from the water will

help to eliminate the air lock in system. It may be necessary to reprime the raw water

system if the system is not used for an extended period.

ALWAYS TURN THE RAW WATER PUMP SWITCH TO THE “OFF” POSITION WHEN LEAV-

ING THE BOAT UNATTENDED.

DO NOT RUN THE HIGH PRESSURE PUMP DRY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AS DAMAGE TO

THE PUMP WILL RESULT.

5.3 Livewell

Sea water is provided to the livewell by a 12-volt circulating pump. The pump is designed to carry a constant

flow of water to the livewell. The pump is activated by the livewell switch on the helm. 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.

To fill the livewell, insert the plug into 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 pump. When the water level reaches the

overflow, it will begin to circulate. The livewell overflow and drain discharge through a fitting in the

splashwell.

To drain the livewell, turn off the livewell pump and pull out the plug in the drain fitting. When the livewell

has completely drained, use the washdown hose to flush the livewell and drain debris.
