Fish Boxes With Macerator Pump; Washdown Pump - Pro-Line Boats 2008 26 XP Pilot Owner's Manual

will activate the automatic float that is connected to the bilge pump. If you notice your pump running
frequently during your day on the water, you should check the thru hull fittings, hose connections, etc. for
any possible leaks.
Keep the bilge area clean and free from debris that could clog ports or inhibit float movement. Also, keep
the battery (starboard) that provides power to the bilge pump charged. If the battery is not charged and
flooding occurs, the boat could swamp causing damage and possible loss of life or property.

Fish Boxes with Macerator Pump

Your boat is equipped with 2 aft fish boxes. The port and
starboard fish boxes in the aft cockpit area have a combined
capacity of 74 gallons (37 gallons each). They are both plumbed
to a fish box macerator pump that is mounted on the outside of the
port aft stringer. The fish box pump is accessible by removing the
dual battery switch and tackle box compartment located at the port
aft corner of the transom.
The fish box macerator pump operates on a 2-way rocker switch
(labeled fish box) that is located on the switch panel.
To operate the fish box macerator pump, fill either of the aft fish boxes with water. Then, depress the fish
box switch to the on position. The water and fish particles will be pumped out of the tubs and then
overboard via the fish box thru hulls on the side of the boat. When you are finished emptying the fish
boxes, place the fish box switch in the aft position to turn off the fish box macerator pump.

Washdown Pump

The washdown pump is mounted on the starboard stringer and is equipped with a pressure switch. This
pump shares the same seacock as the baitwell pump and is accessible via the bilge hatch
Before operating the washdown pump, make sure that the seacock at the baitwell pump is in the open
position before turning on the pump. The seacock is wide open when the seacock lever is in the vertical
position. When the seacock lever is in the horizontal position, the seacock is closed. The seacock
should remain closed when the baitwell and/or washdown pumps are not in use.

The washdown fitting is located in the port aft corner of the cockpit. Just turn the black cap to open the
fitting and connect a standard garden hose to the fitting.
To turn on the washdown pump, locate the washdown switch on the instrument panel and press the
switch to the forward position. If you turn on the washdown pump switch and you do not feel pressure,
the seacock may not be open. Verify that the seacock is open and depress the switch again. When not
in use, the washdown switch should be left in the off (down or aft) position.
