The fish box macerator pumps operate on separate 2-way rocker switches (labeled Fish Box) that are located on
the switch panel.
Note: The switch panel has two fish box switches. The switch on the top row of switches
operates the forward fish box pump. The fishbox switch on the bottom row operates the aft fish
box pump.
To properly operate the fish box macerator pump, fill either the forward or aft fish boxes with water. Then depress
the applicable the fish box switch to the forward position. The water and fish particles will be pumped out of the
tubs and then overboard via the applicable fish box thru hull on the side of the boat. When you are finished
emptying the fish box, place the fish box switch in the aft position to turn off the fish box macerator pump.
To check the system for drainage, remove the white 90-degree elbow fitting that connects the hose to the holding
tank. The fitting is held in place with a rubber grommet therefore no hose clamps need to be removed. After
removing the fitting, feel around just inside the holding tank for the 2 round plastic buttons (approx. ½" in
diameter) and simply lift the 2 buttons to check the operation. If the float is working properly, the pump will
activate. On occasion, you may find excessive debris in the holding tank that is causing a blockage. Just remove
the debris through this same opening. When you are finished checking the operation, reinsert the 90-degree
elbow fitting back into the rubber grommet until is seats itself.
Note: There are two storage boxes on the forward casting deck located on either side of the
forward fish box. These boxes are insulated and gravity drain into the forward fishbox.
Fresh Water System
Note: There must be fresh water in the fresh water tank in order for the fresh water pump to
operate. Operating the pump with an empty tank could cause serious damage to the pump.
Fresh Water Tank and Fill
The 15-gallon capacity fresh water tank is mounted on a shelf in
the aft area of the bilge (below the motor well). The tank can be
filled via the stainless steel fresh water tank fill located at the
transom, next to the transom sink. Twist the cap to open the
fitting. The cap is connected to the fitting by a chain or cable so
that it will not fall into the water and/or get lost. Use a garden
hose to fill the fresh water tank through this fitting.
Important: Fill the tank with potable water only. Refilling
the tank often will help to keep it a source of clean fresh
drinking water.
Never fill the fresh water tank with
anything other than fresh water.
Fresh Water Pump
The fresh water pump is located on the port side of the bilge. Depressing the fresh
water switch located on the switch panel to the forward position provides power to the
fresh water pump.
The fresh water system hose is located at the transom, behind a white rubber
cap/cover. Pull open the cap and pull out the faucet/shower nozzle and hose. Press
the button on the nozzle to ensure proper operation (water spraying).
faucet/shower nozzle can also be used at the transom sink. When you are finished,
stow away the transom fresh water hose and cover the outlet with the white rubber
cap.
If the fresh water system is not in going to be in use, return to the switch panel and turn the cabin water system
switch to the off position. When you close the faucet, the pump may run briefly. If the pump continues to run with
the faucet closed, check the system for leaks or have the pump tested.
