Operation

NOTICE
The seacock MUST be in the OPEN position.
Running the pump dry may cause damage to
the unit.
The raw water washdown pump is activated by the
"RAW WATER" switch on the console switch panel
(See fi gure 2.9.1).
The seacock for the pump must be in the OPEN
position before using. The seacock can be accessed
through the motorwell hatch.
The seacock which supplies raw water to the
washdown pump will vary depending on how your
boat is equipped.
Standard equipped boats utilize the console livewell
seacock which is located just port of the hull
centerline in the bilge and can be accessed through
the motorwell hatch (Figure 3.10.3).

second seacock to be located just starboard of the hull
centerline in the bilge which can be accessed through
the motorwell hatch (Figure 3.11.2). The raw water
is routed from this second seacock to the raw water
pump and then to the washdown deck inlet.

Maintenance

Maintenance of the raw water system will require you
to check the fi ttings and hoses for system integrity
to prevent leaks. The system should be run at least
every other month to keep the pumps impellers in
good condition. Clean the seacock intake(s), located
on the bottom aft of the hull on the port and starboard
sides, of any debris or build-up when the boat is in
drydock or trailered.
