Livewell Control Valve
The livewell control valve controls the ability to select between sea/lake water and
recirculation operation. This valve must be in the recirculation (closed) mode
whenever the boat is in operation or on a trailer. If the valve is left open, water can
siphon out of the livewell and kill the fish.
Livewell Drain Switch
The livewell drain switch turns the livewell drain pump (if equipped) on/off. Be sure
to turn the pump off when it is not in use.
ELECTRIC TROLLING MOTOR SYSTEMS
See the Electric Trolling Motor Operator's Manual.
Electric trolling motors are generally used by anglers to quietly and slowly
maneuver their boats while fishing. Trolling motors are available in many types and
sizes and usually mount on the bow of the boat.
TROLLING MOTOR BATTERIES
Electric trolling motors depend on
batteries for power. Deep-cycle
batteries are recommended for
use with trolling motors, as they
can provide the longest use/
charge time and are designed to
be charged and discharged
repeatedly. Use battery switches
to disconnect the trolling motor
from the batteries when not in
use.
Battery usage and setups vary
depending on the application and manufacturer recommendations. Trolling motor
battery setups are 12-volt, 12/24-volt or 24-volt, and may include a battery isolator
and on-board charging system.
Fire/Explosion Hazard: Hydrogen gases produced by a
lead acid battery while it is charging, or the engine is running, can cause a fire
and/or an explosion.
The diagram illustrates some typical trolling motor battery installations.
