3. Livewell / Raw Water Washdown (oponal)
An oponal livewell and raw water washdown system is available for this boat. If installed, a 13 liter
livewell is located on the port a side of the cockpit, while the raw water washdown is located under
the starboard deck trail step. The livewell is used to keep baiish alive by circulang seawater through
the tank.
Livewell Operaon
Before operang the system, make sure that the livewell / raw water pickup valve is in the open
posion. The livewell / raw water pickup valve can be accessed through the motorwell access plate.
To ll the livewell, press the switch marked “LIVEWELL” on the sh pack switch panel located under
the port gunnel cap. Inside the livewell, there is an aerator spray head that allows you to control the
ow of water. To increase the ow of water, turn the spray head counterclockwise, while turning the
spray head clockwise decreases the ow. Located in the center of the livewell, there is a drain tube
which allows excess water to ow overboard, and fresh seawater to connually circulate. To drain the
livewell, simply unscrew the drain tube.
Check the funcon of all bilge pumps at regular intervals.
Clear pump inlet from debris.
The bilge pumping system is not designed for damage
control.
