6.2 High Pressure Washdown
A saltwater high pressure pump, controlled by a pressure sensor, supplies the
raw water hose connector located in the cockpit. The pump is activated by
the washdown switch located under the gunwale on the side of the cockpit.
This switch should be turned to the “ON” position just before using the
washdown and be turned to the “OFF” position when the washdown is not
in use.
When activated, the pressure switch will automatically control the pump. As
the pressure builds in the washdown hose, the pump will shut off. When the
washdown hose is in use and the pressure drops, the pump will turn on.
The raw water washdown system is equipped with a sea strainer on the intake
side of the pump located in the bilge behind the stern access hatch. This
should be checked frequently and cleaned as necessary.
The Washdown Pump Connector
The washdown pump hose connector is located in the cockpit and
uses a standard garden hose connection.
ALWAYS TURN THE RAW WATER PUMP SWITCH TO THE “OFF” POSITION WHEN
LEAVING THE BOAT UNATTENDED.
DO NOT RUN THE HIGH PRESSURE PUMP DRY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AS DAMAGE
TO THE PUMP WILL RESULT.
