6/Raw, Waste & Freshwater Systems
6.1 General
Your boat is equipped with fresh, waste, and raw water systems. The freshwater components
include a freshwater tank, distribution lines, two sink/shower faucets, and a pump. The standard raw
water system consists of a two high-speed pick-ups located on the transom, three pumps, two
washdown outlets, distribution lines, and one or more livewells. The waste system consists of a toilet,
waste management system, distribution lines, a deck plate, and an overboard discharge valve.
A
diagram of all the water systems is included with this manual.
6.2 Livewell Operation
Two low maintenance centrifugal pumps located in the mechanical access space fill the
livewell(s). The main livewell is located at the center aft deck area, and an optional livewell may
be added in place of the freshwater sink area at the port aft corner of the deck. The livewell &
accessory livewell switches on the helm switch panel operate the pumps. In order to properly
operate, the valves located inside the livewell(s) must be adjusted to provide an even flow in and
out of the livewell(s). Too much flow and it will be more than the drains can handle, too little and
the water will not get proper circulation. The valve should be turned counterclockwise to open and
clockwise to close.
The livewell located at the aft center of the boat has 2 strainers attached to overboard drains in
order to regulate the height of the water. The livewell drains through hoses connected to thru hull
fittings on the sides of the boat. To completely drain the aft livewell(s) remove the bottom plug(s),
which allows any water to drain overboard.
6.3 High Pressure Washdown
The washdown system is comprised of a pump mounted in the mechanical access space and
two washdown outlets. The raw water switch on the helm switch panel controls the pump. A
washdown hose bib is located amidships under the starboard gunnel and a washdown hose and
nozzle assembly is located inside the forward anchor locker. These outlets can be used to wash
debris from the boat. The raw water 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 pump mounted beside the freshwater tank and two
showerhead assemblies. The freshwater switch on the helm switch panel controls the pump. A
thirty-one gallon freshwater tank is located forward of the console and is accessed by removing
the console storage drawer unit located on the lower forward wall. The fill is located on the
starboard side deck amidships. One showerhead assembly is located in the port aft sink on the
deck; (unless an optional livewell is installed), and the other is inside the console at the sink. The
freshwater switch should be turned on immediately prior to use and turned off when not in use.
