Baitwell With Raw Water Washdown And Baitwell Light - Pro-Line Boats 23 DUAL CONSOLE 2012 Owner's Manual

Second, turn the bilge pump off at the instrument panel and check the bilge pump float switch. The bilge pump is
equipped with an automatic float switch (white box) that is mounted in close proximity to the pump. As long as
your boat is equipped with an operable battery, the pump will operate automatically when water is present in the
area. The float switch is equipped with two plastic knobs located on either side of the switch. Turn either one of
the knobs to raise the float to engage the bilge pump. If the pump comes on, the automatic float is operating
properly. It is recommended that you check the operation of each automatic float switch monthly.
If for some reason the indicator light on your bilge pump switch comes on, check your bilge for water. It is not
uncommon for rain water or water from washing your boat to accumulate in the bilge. Standing water will activate
the automatic float that is connected to the bilge pump. If you notice your pump running frequently during your
day on the water, you should check the thru hull fittings, hose connections, etc. for any possible leaks.
Keep the bilge area clean and free from debris that could clog ports or inhibit float movement. Also, keep the
battery (starboard) that provides power to the bilge pump charged. If the battery is not charged and flooding
occurs, the boat could swamp causing damage and possible loss of life or property.

Baitwell with Raw Water Washdown and Baitwell Light

The 18-gallon baitwell tub is located in the port aft corner of the cockpit. It comes
equipped with a baitwell/washdown pump, seacock, stand pipe, aerator head and
baitwell light.
The baitwell switch at the helm controls the baitwell/washdown pump. The pump
is mounted in a cut out area on top of the port stringer and is accessible via the
bilge hatch. The seacock is mounted in the center of the bilge and is accessible
via the bilge hatch in the aft cockpit.
Raw water for the baitwell tub
and raw water washdown system
comes through the seacock, to
the pump and then to the baitwell
tub and/or raw water washdown
outlet. Before turning the pump
on from the helm, check to be
sure that the seacock is open.
The seacock is wide open when
the yellow seacock lever is
vertical. When the
seacock lever is horizontal, the
seacock is closed. The seacock
should remain closed when the
pump is not in use.
Note: The round filter attached to the side of the pump should be removed and cleaned often
with running water.
To operate the baitwell system: Locate the baitwell switch
on the console and press the switch to the forward position
to turn on the pump. 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. If water is not entering the baitwell tub, the
aerator fitting may not be open. See the photos below to
make sure that the lever on the aerator fitting is in the
open position. 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
Baitwell pump is located in aft bilge
area on top of the port aft stringer.
