10.1.6 Livewell System (Oponal with Fishing Package)
The 20 gallon livewell system is supplied by a dual purpose livewell pump. The pump is located in the port
mechanical room. The wiring is secured to the pump using a e-strap, and must be disconnected prior to
removing the pump.
The livewell pump draws water through the strainer mounted on the inboard side of the port sponson. A
seacock is installed between the pickup and the pump to allow you to seal the system between use, or in
the event of a plumbing failure.
To operate the livewell, rst verify that the seacock is open, then install the supplied drain plug in the
boom of the livewell located in the a poron of the port back-to-back seat. When you have completed
these steps, turn the pump on with the dedicated livewell switch located on the port wall beside the
back-to-back seat. Water will ll the tank unl it is level with the overow drain in the top corner of the
livewell tub which allows the excess water to drain overboard through the port hullside. To clear bait
residue that has collected in the boom of the tub, temporarily pull out the drain plug to allow waste to
escape. Put the plug back into posion to resume normal operaon. When you have nished using the
livewell turn the pump o and discard any le-over bait. Pull the plug out of the boom drain and allow
all the remaining water to exit the boom of the tub. To view the layout of the livewell system see the
drawing in secon 10.4.6.
NOTICE
While underway, leaving your livewell seacock open could result in inadvertently lling your
livewell. To prevent this, close the seacock when the pump is not in operaon.
NOTICE
Operang the engines in reverse can cause excessive venlaon near the livewell intake, causing
the pump to airlock. To prevent this, turn the pumps “OFF” prior to any connuous or high speed
reverse operaon. If your pump does becomes air locked, turn the pump “OFF” for 15 to 30
seconds to correct the problem.
10.1.7 Raw Water System
The raw water pump and strainer are mounted on the rigging wall in the port mechanical room located
in the port a cockpit of the boat. The strainer is connected to a high-speed pickup through the seacock
located on the inboard side of the port sponson. The seacock must be in the open posion for the system
to work. Similar to the freshwater pump, the raw water system is controlled by a built-in pressure switch
set at 60psi. The pump will cycle on and o as needed to maintain this pressure. Most owners leave the
pump in the on posion throughout the day and use the system when necessary. On the 280DC-X the raw
water pump is switched on by a push buon mechanical switch located on the dash area. The 280DC-X
has two raw water outlets, one is located on the port wall beside the back-to-back seat and the other is a
hose coil located inside the port anchor locker to allow easy rinsing of the anchor and chain, as well as the
bow of the vessel. To view the layout of the raw water system see the drawing in secon 10.4.6.
