Baitwell Tub; Baitwell Pump; Washdown Pump - Pro-Line Boats 2009 26 XP Pilot Owner's Manual

Baitwell Tub

The 20-gallon capacity baitwell tub is located at the starboard aft corner of the
cockpit and comes equipped with an aerator head, a standpipe and a baitwell
light.
If you find it necessary to run the baitwell pump while you are underway, you may
be forcing more water than necessary up through the seacock. In this instance,
adjust the seacock lever to a 45-degree angle so that the seacock is only halfway
open.
The seacock lever may require additional adjustments to find a setting that works best for you. Even when the
baitwell pump is turned off, if the seacock is open, the baitwell tub will continue to fill with water while you are
underway.

Baitwell Pump

The baitwell switch at the helm controls the baitwell pump, which is mounted on a seacock in the bilge. Both are
accessible via the bilge hatch located just forward of the transom. Raw water for the baitwell tub comes through
the seacock, to the baitwell pump and then to the baitwell tub.
When the baitwell pump is operating, go to the baitwell tub, open the baitwell lid and visually check to see if water
is pumping into the tub through the aerator fitting to ensure that the baitwell pump is working properly. To turn the
baitwell pump off, press the baitwell switch to the aft position. You should always turn the baitwell switch off at
the helm if the pump is not going to be used soon.

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.
Before turning the pump on from the helm, check to be sure that
