6.3 Livewell
Sea water is provided to the livewell by a 12-volt
diaphragm pump. This pump is designed to carry a
constant flow of water to the livewell. The pump is
activated by the baitwell switch in the 12-volt panel or
a separate switch in the cockpit. An overflow built into
the livewell automatically controls the water level in the
livewell. Always turn the pump off at the switch panel
when the livewell is not in use.
To fill the livewell, insert the plug into the drain fitting
at the bottom of the livewell. Make sure the valve at the
intake thru hull fitting is open and activate the baitwell
switch. When the water level reaches the overflow, it
will begin to circulate.
To drain the livewell, turn off the livewell pump and pull
out the plug in the drain fitting at the bottom of the
livewell. When the livewell has completely drained, use
the washdown hose to flush the livewell and drain of
debris.
The livewell supply thru hull valve should be closed whenever the livewell is not in use. This will
prevent water from entering the livewell while the boat is cruising.
Note: Do not use the livewell as a dry storage area when it is not in use. Sea water could
accidently be delivered to the livewell from the thru hull fitting and damage
equipment stored there.
DO NOT RUN THE LIVEWELL PUMP DRY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AS DAMAGE TO
THE PUMP WILL RESULT.
6.4 Air Conditioning
The air conditioner is self-contained and sea water cooled. A 110-volt centrifugal raw water pump
supplies sea water that cools the condensing unit as it circulates through the system and is
discharged overboard. The pump is located below the water line and is activated whenever 110-
volt current is available and the air conditioning system is operating.
Sea water is supplied to the pump from a thru hull fitting located in the hull near the pump. A sea
strainer between the pump and thru hull fitting protects the system from contaminants that could
