Section 3 • Systems & Components Overview & Operation
Livewell (Option)
If equipped, the livewell located in the reversible
pilot seat will keep bait fish alive by circulating fresh
seawater through the tank.
ATTENTION
The seacock must be in the open position when
livewell is in use. Running the pump dry may
cause damage to the unit.
Operation
Before operating the system make certain the hull
seacock is in the open position. The seacock can be
accessed through the starboard access hatch on the
livewell.
Place the removable standpipe (supplied) in the drain
at the bottom of the livewell tank. The standpipe
serves as an overflow drain to control the level of the
water in the livewell while water is being circulated
through the system. A flow control valve (Figure
3.9.2) at the livewell water inlet controls the flow of
water into the livewell. To increase the water flow,
turn the valve counterclockwise. To decrease flow,
turn the valve clockwise.

A drain /overflow hose with a strainer, directs
overflow/excess water to the transom thru-hull
drain.
Maintenance
Maintenance of the livewell system requires periodic
inspection of the raw water intake strainer and all
hose connections. Clean away debris and/or tighten
hose connections as required.
