Fish Boxes with Macerator Pump

Your boat is equipped with 2 aft fish boxes with a combined capacity of 130 gallons. The fish boxes are
installed below the floor hatches located just forward of the transom.
Note: The casting deck storage boxes double as the forward fish boxes. Any water that
collects in these storage boxes will gravity drain overboard via thru hulls. These storage
boxes are not plumbed to the fish box macerator pump.
The fish box macerator pump is equipped with an automatic float switch. This pump drains the fish boxes
and/or macerates any fish particles. As the fish boxes drain, water and/or debris travel to the collector
box attached to the pump and then to the fish box macerator pump which pumps the water and/or debris
overboard.
The fish box macerator pump operates on 2-way rocker switch (labeled Fish Box Pump) that is located on
the switch panel. To properly operate the fish box macerator pump, fill either of the aft fish boxes with
water. Then depress the fish box pump switch to the forward position. The water and fish particles will
be pumped out of the tubs and then overboard via a fish box thru hull on the side of the boat. When you
are finished emptying the fish box, place the fish box switch in the aft position to turn off the fish box
macerator pump.
To check the system for drainage, remove the white 90 degree elbow fitting that connects the hose to the
holding tank. The fitting is held in place with a rubber grommet therefore no hose clamps need to be
removed. After removing the fitting, feel around just inside the holding tank for the 2 round plastic buttons
(approx. ½" in diameter) and simply lift the 2 buttons to check the operation. If the float is working
properly, the pump will activate. On occasion, you may find excessive debris in the holding tank that is
causing a blockage. Just remove the debris through this same opening. When you are finished checking
the operation, reinsert the 90 degree elbow fitting back into the rubber grommet until is seats itself.
