the underside and impeller areas for miscellaneous items that might clog the pump. If
any obstructions are present remove the debris and set the pump back into the cradle.
Once set back in the cradle, press the pump down on the base then twist until the lock
button snaps it into place. Once this is completed you can try to turn the pump on again.
If the bilge pump still does not turn on, it likely needs to be replaced. It is not
recommended to use your boat if the bilge pump and/or float switch are not functioning
properly.
Systems
Ball Valves
Ball valves can be used to serve several purposes. They allow
seawater to enter the boat, in the case of livewells, and they also
act as a safeguard to stop water from entering. To tell
which position a ball valve is in, open or closed, look at the
valve and determine the direction of flow. When the ball
valve handle is in the same position as the direction of
flow, the valve is in the “OPEN” position. When the ball
valve handle appears to cross the direction of flow, the
valve is in the “CLOSED” position. The ball valves can be
accessed in the bilge compartment behind the aft seating.
301 Deckdrain System
The deckdrain system is equipped with 1 1/2” thru hull fittings through the aft port and
starboard hull sides. These fittings have to be installed lower than the drains in the
cockpit floor so that gravity will allow the cockpit to drain free of water. This puts these
fittings very close to the water line of the hull. These drains are rigged with ball valves
that can be opened and closed to control the flow of water. In the open position, these
ball valves will allow water to flow freely from the cockpit, thus making the boat “self-
bailing”. When closed, no water will be allowed to travel to or from the cockpit.
