Raw Water System
Make sure the Raw Water switch in the helm switch
panel is on before using the washdown hose and
that the washdown faucet valve or hose spray
nozzles are o when the water system is activated.
DO NOT ALLOW THE WATER PUMP TO RUN DRY. THE
PUMP WORKS ON DEMAND AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF
AUTOMATICALLY IF NO WATER IS AVAILABLE. THIS CAN
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE PUMP. ALWAYS TURN THE
RAW WATER SWITCH OFF WHEN THE RAW WATER SYSTEM
IS NOT IN USE.
8.3 Baitwell
Seawater is provided to the baitwell by a 12 volt
circulation pump. This pump is designed to carry
a constant ow of water to the baitwell. The pump
does not have a pressure sensor and is activated
by the Baitwell switch in the helm switch panel.
There is also a light in the baitwell that is activated
by the Baitwell Light switch.
An overow built into the baitwell drain automati-
cally controls the water level in the baitwell. Al-
ways turn the pump o at the switch panel when
the baitwell is not in use.
To ll the baitwell, insert the plug into the drain
tting at the bottom of the baitwell. Make sure
the seacock at the pump and the supply valve in
the baitwell are open. Then activate the baitwell
pump. When the water level reaches the overow,
it will begin to circulate.
When the recirculating baitwell is activated by the
Recirc switch, a separate pump will recirculate and
aerate the water that is in the baitwell without
drawing additional seawater into the system. A
valve in the side of the baitwell is used to regulate
the ow of oxygen in the water when the recircu-
lating feature is activated.
The baitwell raw water intake is equipped with a
high speed pickup that will supply water to the
baitwell if the pump should fail and helps prime
the system during normal operation. To supply
water to the baitwell using the high speed pickup,
make sure the seacock valve is open and run the
boat at a speed above 15 miles per hour. Water will
circulate through the baitwell and out the overow.
To drain the baitwell, turn o the baitwell pump
and remove the plug in the drain tting. When
Typical Washdown Hose Connection
the baitwell has completely drained, use the wash-
down hose to ush the baitwell and drain of debris.
The baitwell seacock valve should be closed when-
ever the baitwell is not in use. This will prevent
water from entering the baitwell while the boat
is cruising.
Notice:
Do not use the baitwell as a dry storage
area when it is not in use. Seawater could
accidently be delivered to the baitwell from
the thru-hull tting and damage equipment
stored there.
