Sea Water System

Baitwell Pump

The baitwell switch at the helm controls the baitwell pump (800 gph), which is mounted on a seacock in
the bilge area. The baitwell pump and seacock are accessible through the bilge. Raw water for the
baitwell tub comes through the seacock, to the baitwell pump and then to the baitwell tub.
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 yellow seacock lever is horizontal, the
seacock is closed. The seacock should remain closed when the baitwell pump is not in use.

baitwell pump is working properly.
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.

than necessary up through the seacock. In this instance, adjust the seacock lever to a 45

that works best for you. Even when the baitwell pump is turned off, if the seacock is open, the baitwell
tub will continue to fill with water while you are underway.
