2470 CENTER CONSOLE
To drain the livewell, turn off the livewell pump and pull out the plug in the drain fitting at the
bottom of the livewell. When the livewell has completely drained, use the washdown hose to
flush the livewell and drain of debris.
The livewell supply thru-hull valve should be closed whenever the livewell is not in use. This
will prevent water from entering the livewell while the boat is cruising.
The livewell system is equipped with a sea strainer on the intake side of the pump located in the
bilge behind the stern access hatch. This should be checked frequently and cleaned as necessary.
Note: Do not use the livewell as a dry storage area when it is not in use. Sea water could
accidently be delivered to the livewell from the thru-hull and damage equipment
stored there.
6.4 Raw Water System Maintenance
The following items should be done routinely to help maintain your raw water system:
• Check hoses, particularly the sea water supply line, for signs of deterioration.
• Remove and clean the sea water strainers.
• Spray pumps and thru-hull valves with a protective oil periodically.
• The fishboxes and livewells should be drained and cleaned after each use.
• Operate all thru-hull valves at least once a month to keep them operating properly.
The light assembly for the livewell is accessed from below the cockpit and through an access
hatch located near the livewell. If the bulb needs replacing, reach through the access hatch and
carefully work the socket out of the light assembly. The wire should be long enough to pull the
socket and bulb out of the access hatch. Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the base of the
new bulb and insert it into the socket. Care must be taken not to get any oil or petroleum jelly
on the glass portion of the bulb as this will cause the bulb to overheat and burn out. Insert the
bulb and socket into the light assembly.
SHOULD A HOSE RUPTURE, TURN THE PUMP OFF IMMEDIATELY. ALWAYS
CLOSE THE THRU-HULL VALVE WHEN PERFORMING MAINTENANCE ON A SEA
WATER PUMP.
