Fish Boxes With Macerator Pumps; Raw Water Washdown Pump - Pro-Line Boats 2008 29 Super Sport Owner's Manual

Fish Boxes with Macerator Pumps (Forward and Aft)
Your boat is equipped with 1 forward and 2 aft fish boxes with a combined capacity of 143 gallons. The
large fish box on the forward casting deck has a capacity of 113 gallons and is plumbed to a forward fish
box pump. This forward fish box pump is installed below the floor hatch located forward of the seat on
the front of the console. The port and starboard fish boxes in the aft cockpit area have combined capacity
a 15-gallons and they are both plumbed to an aft fish box pump that is installed below the floor hatch over
the aft bilge area.
The fish box macerator pumps are each equipped with an automatic float switch. These two pumps drain
the fish boxes and/or macerate 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 pumps operate on separate 2-way rocker switches (labeled Fish Box) that are
located on the switch panel.
Note: The switch panel has two fish box switches. The switch on the top row of switches
operates the forward fish box pump. The fishbox switch on the bottom row operates the
aft fish box pump.
To properly operate the fish box macerator pump, fill either the forward or aft fish boxes with water. Then
depress the applicable the fish box switch to the forward position. The water and fish particles will be
pumped out of the tubs and then overboard via the applicable 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 egree elbow fitting back into the rubber grommet until is seats itself.
Note: There are two storage boxes on the forward casting deck located on either side of
the forward fish box. These boxes are insulated and gravity drain into the forward fishbox.
