1703 Baitwell & Seawater Washdown System
Filling & Using the Baitwell
1. Insert the rubber end of the drain standpipe into
the drain fitting at the bottom of the tank.
2. If equipped, turn the y-valve to the baitwell
position.
3. If necessary, Open the seawater intake seacock.
4. On the main switch panel turn On the baitwell
switch.
• Remove the standpipe to drain the baitwell.
Aeration Tips
The level of aeration is controlled by the aerator
control valve.
• In clean ocean water little or no aeration is needed.
• In brackish back waters a higher level of aeration
may be needed.
Troubleshooting
If you followed the instructions in steps 1 through 4
above, but water does not pump into the tank, possi-
ble causes are:
• The seacock is Closed.
• A hose is collapsed or there is clogging debris in
the system.
• The y-valve (if equipped) is turned to the wrong
position.
• The baitwell circuit breaker needs to be reset.
Seawater Washdown System (If Equipped)
1. Turn the y-valve to the washdown position.
2. If necessary, Open the seawater intake seacock.
3. On the main switch panel, turn On the baitwell switch.

• NEVER leave your boat unattended while the baitwell/seawater washdown system
is running.
• Any leak or break in this system may allow large amounts of water to flood the bilge, which
could swamp the batteries, and even sink your boat.
• Close the intake seacock when leaving your boat unattended for any length of time.
