SF 345

The raw water washdown system is equipped with a sea strainer on the intake side

of the pump located in the cockpit machinery space. This should be checked

frequently and cleaned as necessary.

PRIMING THE SYSTEM

Make sure the ball valves are open. Open the hose connector for the raw water

washdown and activate the pressure pump by turning the washdown pump switch

to the “ON” position. Run the pump until all of the air is purged from the system

and then turn the switch off. Closing the thru-hull ball valves before the boat is

hauled from the water will help to eliminate air locks in raw water systems.

It may be necessary to reprime the raw water system if the system is not used for

an extended period and at the time of launching.

ALWAYS TURN THE RAW WATER PUMP SWITCH TO THE

“OFF” POSITION WHEN LEAVING THE BOAT UNATTENDED.

DO NOT RUN THE HIGH PRESSURE PUMP DRY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AS DAMAGE

TO THE PUMP WILL RESULT.

5.3 Livewell

Sea water is provided to the livewell by a 12-volt circulating pump. This pump is designed to carry a constant

flow of water to the livewell. The pump is activated by the livewell switch in the cockpit. An overflow built

into the livewell automatically controls the water level in the livewell. Always turn the pump off at the switch

panel when the livewell is not in use.

The livewell is also equipped with an aerator pump. This pump circulates the water in the livewell. The

livewell must be full of water with the drain plug firmly secured for the aerator pump to function.

The livewell pump is equipped with a sea strainer on the intake side of the pump and is located in the cockpit

mechanical space. This should be checked frequently and cleaned as necessary.

To fill the livewell, insert the plug into the drain fitting at the bottom of the livewell. Make sure the valve

at the intake thru-hull fitting is open and activate the livewell switch. When the water level reaches the

overflow, it will begin to circulate.

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

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.
