3. Livewell/Raw Water Washdown (oponal)
An oponal livewell and raw water washdown system is available for this boat. If installed, a 31 liter
livewell is located on the port a side of the cockpit under the seat, while the raw water washdown is
located on the port forward 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 coaming 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.
Raw Water Washdown Operaon
Before operang the system, make sure that the livewell / raw water pickup valve is in the open
posion. To operate, press the switch marked “RAW WATER WASHDOWN” on the sh pack switch
panel located under the port coaming cap. This acvates a 4.0 GPM pump that supplies water to the
washdown sprayer.
Maintenance
Maintenance of the livewell and raw water washdown system will require you to check the ngs
and hoses to make sure that there are no leaks. Check the in-line strainer aached to the pump and
clean if necessary. If the system does require maintenance, contact your local dealer.
If you are storing the boat during the winter, we recommend you winterize the system.
To Winterize the Livewell & Raw Water Washdown System:
1. Drain the water out of all of the hoses in the livewell & raw water washdown system.
2. Remove the sprayer from the raw water washdown hose and drain the water out of the hose.
