Section 3 • Systems & Components Overview & Operation

Livewell

Your boat is equipped with an insulated, 15 Gal.
(56,8L), livewell that is located under the cushion
on the front of the console. The livewell system's
primary function is to keep baitfish alive by
circulating seawater into the livewell bucket. The
seacock, plumbing and raw water pump option that
service the system can be reached through the port
transom and motorwell hatch.

OPERATION

The livewell can be fi lled by using the switch marked
"CONSOLE LIVEWELL" on the switch panel (See
fi gure 2.9.1).
Before fi lling the livewell, you must make certain the
hull seacock is in the open position. The hull seacock
can be accessed through the motorwell hatch.

NOTICE
The seacock MUST be in the OPEN position.
Running the pump dry may cause damage to
the unit.
Place the removable standpipe (supplied) in the drain
at the bottom of the livewell tank. The standpipe
serves as an overfl ow drain to control the level of the
water in the livewell while water is being circulated
through the system. When not in use the standpipe
can be stored in the clips on the underside of the
livewell cover. A fl ow control valve (Figure 3.10.1)
at the livewell water inlet controls the fl ow of water
into the livewell. To increase the water fl ow, turn the
valve counterclockwise. To decrease fl ow, turn the
valve clockwise.
