SF 345

DO NOT USE THE LIVEWELL AS A DRY STORAGE AREA WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE.

SEA WATER COULD ACCIDENTALLY BE DELIVERED TO THE LIVEWELL FROM THE

THRU-HULL FITTING AND DAMAGE EQUIPMENT STORED THERE.

DO NOT RUN THE LIVEWELL PUMP DRY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AS DAMAGE TO

THE PUMP WILL RESULT.

5.4 Air Conditioning Pump (Optional)

The air conditioner is self-contained and sea water cooled. An AC centrifugal raw water pump supplies sea

water that cools the condensing unit as it circulates through the system and is discharged overboard. The pump

is located below the waterline in the cockpit machinery space and is activated whenever AC current is available

and the air conditioning system is operating.

Sea water is supplied to the pump from a thru-hull fitting located in the hull near the pump. A sea strainer

between the pump and thru-hull fitting protects the system from contaminants that could damage the pump

or the air conditioning system. Make sure the sea water pump receives adequate sea water by periodically

cleaning the sea strainer basket.

The pump, the strainer and seacock are located in the cockpit machinery space.

Please refer to the air conditioner owner's manual for more information on the operation and maintenance of

the air conditioner.

5.5 Drainage

GENERAL

All water is drained by gravity to overboard thru-hull fittings located in the hull sides above the waterline.

Some of the drain thru-hull fittings are equipped with ball valves that are always open under normal operating

conditions. In the event of an emergency, the valves can be closed to prevent sea water from entering the

boat through the drainage system. It is important to check and operate the drain valves at least monthly to

make sure they are in good condition and operating properly. You also should check the drain system

frequently to ensure it is free flowing and that the hoses on the thru-hull fittings are secure and not leaking.

Please review the drainage schematic to become familiar with the location of the thru-hull drain valves.

SITUATIONS REQUIRING ONE OR MORE DRAIN VALVES TO BE CLOSED CAN BE PO-

TENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO THE BOAT AND YOUR CREW. IF THIS OCCURS, DISTRIB-

UTE PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES TO THE CREW AND TAKE ALL NECESSARY

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, INCLUDING NOTIFYING THE COAST GUARD, UNTIL THE PROB-

LEM IS FOUND AND CORRECTED.

COCKPIT DRAINS

Your Pursuit has two drains located in the rear of the cockpit. Water is channeled away from all hatches by

a gutter or drain rail system. The water then drains overboard through the drain system.
