Raw Water Systems
Seacock
• A seacock is a valve, controlled by a 90º lever, used
to manage the intake of raw water through the hull
and below the water line.
• The raw water intake systems used on your boat are
for the Marine Head System (if equipped), the Bait-
well system, and Raw Water Washdown System.
Raw Water Washdown (If Equipped)
1. Open the raw water intake seacock.
2. On the switch panel, turn On the
washdown switch.
SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
• Before using a raw water intake system, make sure that the system’s seacock is in the Open
position before the system is started and keep the seacock Open until the system is shut Off.
• Close the seacock whenever the system will not be used for long periods of time.
