Washdown Hose

Connector

5.2 Raw Water Washdown

In the raw or sea water systems, all water pumps are supplied by hoses connected to ball valves and thru-hull

fittings located in the bilge. Always make sure the ball valves are open before attempting to operate any

component of the raw water system. 12-volt pumps supply sea water to most of the various accessories.

OPERATION

A high pressure pump, controlled by a pressure sensor, supplies the raw water

hose connector located in the cockpit. The pump is activated by the

washdown switch. This switch should be turned to the “ON” position just

before using the washdown and be turned to the “OFF” position when the

washdown is not in use.

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.

The raw water washdown system is equipped with a sea strainer on the intake side of the pump located in the

aft center hatch compartment. This should be checked frequently and cleaned as necessary.

PRIMING THE SYSTEMS

Make sure the ball valves are open. Open the hose connector for the raw water washdown and activate the

pressure pump by turning the washdown pump switch to the “ON” position. Run the pump until all of the

air is purged from the system and then turn the switch to the "Off" position. Turn the livewell switch to the

“ON” position. Run the pump until all of the air is purged from the system and then turn the switch to the

“OFF” position. Closing the thru-hull ball valves before the boat is hauled from the water will help to eliminate

air locks in raw water systems.

It may be necessary to reprime the raw water system if the system is not used for an extended period and at

the time of launching.

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

LEAVING 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 pump. This pump is designed to carry a constant flow of

water to the livewell. The pump is activated by the livewell switch in the cockpit. 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.
