6.3 High Pressure Washdown
The washdown system is comprised of a diaphragm pump, mounted on the starboard stringer aft
of the fuel tank cavity and accessed through the doors on the rear wall of the deck, and a
washdown fitting to attach a hose. The pump is controlled by the washdown switch on the control
panel. The diaphragm pump is fed through the same thru hull and high
speed pickup as the livewell pump. The washdown hose outlet is located
forward under the starboard gunnel board. With an attached hose, this
system can be used to wash debris from the boat. The switch should be
turned on immediately prior to use and turned off when not in use. When
activated, the pump’s pressure switch will automatically control the pump. It
is normal for the pump to cycle on and off in response to flow rates and water demand.
Always turn off the high pressure washdown pump switch when leaving the boat
unattended.
6.4 Freshwater System
The freshwater system is comprised of a diaphragm pump, mounted on the starboard stringer aft
of the fuel tank cavity and accessed through the doors on the rear wall of the deck, and a shower
head assembly. The pump is controlled by the freshwater switch on the control panel. The
diaphragm pump is fed by a freshwater tank located in the aft end of the fuel tank cavity. The
shower head assembly is located on the starboard side of the transom area. The freshwater
switch should be turned on immediately prior to use and turned off when not in use. When
activated, the pump’s pressure switch will automatically control the pump. It is normal for the
pump to cycle on and off in response to flow rates and water demand.
Always turn off the freshwater pump switch when leaving the boat unattended.
6.5 Raw Water System Maintenance
The following checks should be made periodically to assure your system operates properly:
· Periodically spray pumps with a protective silicone solvent to reduce corrosion.
· Periodically check in-line filter to remove any collected debris.
· Fishboxes and livewells should be drained and cleaned after each use.
· Periodically check hoses and connections for signs of deterioration.
