port side transom.
Similar to residenal well pumps, the freshwater pump pressurizes the system to 60 psi. then shuts down
unl the pressure drops below that level. Most owners leave the pump “ON” throughout the day, and use

10.1.5 Seacocks
OPEN CLOSED
Ball valves (seacocks) are installed on the water intake for both the livewell and raw water
system. The seacock must be in the open position for these systems to work. When open, the
handle will be parallel to the valve. In the closed position the handle is perpendicular to the
valve (see picture above). World Cat recommends that the seacocks remain in the closed
position when not in use, or when the boat is left unattended to prevent the vessel from taking
