and gently turning the top of the pump. You will feel the pump release from the cradle.
The entire bilge pump and wiring should release from the cradle. After removing the
pump, check 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 blue tab down and rotate the pump
until you feel it snap back in 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.

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.
2005 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. The ball valves can be
