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 bilge. This should be checked frequently and cleaned

as necessary.

PRIMING THE SYSTEM

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. 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 Air Conditioning Pump (Optional)

The air conditioner is self-contained and sea water cooled. An AC centrifugal raw water pump supplies sea

water that cools the condensing unit as it circulates through the system and is discharged overboard. The pump

is located below the waterline and is activated whenever AC current is available and the air conditioning system

is operating.

Sea water is supplied to the pump from a thru-hull fitting located in the hull near the pump. A sea strainer

between the pump and thru-hull fitting protects the system from contaminants that could damage the pump

or the air conditioning system. Make sure the sea water pump receives adequate sea water by periodically

cleaning the sea strainer basket.

The pump, the strainer and seacock are located under the cabin floor.

Please refer to the air conditioner owner's manual for more information on the operation and maintenance of

the air conditioner.
