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 fre-

quently for proper operation. Operate the

knob or lever on the side of the switch

until the pump is activated, 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.

! CAUTION

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.

! CAUTION

Maintain a proper charge on the bat-

teries; operating the pressure pump

from a battery with a low charge could

lead to pump failure.

! CAUTION

DO NOT use harsh chemical drain

cleaners in drain systems; permanent

damage to the hoses, fittings and sys-

tem can result. Also, drains and

pumps must be properly winterized

before winter lay-up.
