RAW WATER SYSTEM
8.1 General
In the raw or seawater systems, the baitwell
seawater pump is mounted to a seacock on a
thru-hull fitting located in the aft systems com
-
partment bilge. The water system pressure pump
is connected to an auxiliary supply fitting at the
base of the baitwell pump. Always make sure all
valves are open before attempting to operate any
component of the raw water system.
Priming the System
Make sure the seacock valve is open and the Raw
Water switch in the helm switch panel is on. Run
the pressure pump by turning on the raw water
washdown hose until all of the air is purged from
the system, then turn the hose off. Turn the
Baitwell switch on and run the baitwell pump until
all of the air is purged from the system, then turn
the pump off.
The intake for the baitwell centrifugal pump is
equipped with a scoop and ball valve. If the pump
runs but will not prime, make sure the valve is
open. If the pump still won’t prime, it may be air
locked. Make sure the valve is open and run the
boat at or above 15 M.P.H. The water pressure
from the scoop will force the trapped air through
the pump and allow it to prime. If this procedure
doesn’t work, contact your Everglades dealer.
Closing the thru-hull valve before the boat is
hauled from the water will help to eliminate air
locks in the raw water system. The valve should
also be closed whenever you leave the boat un-
attended.
Notice:
It may be necessary to reprime the raw wa-
ter system if it is not used for an extended
period and at the time of launching.
8.2 Raw Water System Operation
A high pressure pump, controlled by a pressure
sensor, is activated by the Raw Water switch in the
helm switch panel. When activated, the pressure
switch will automatically control the pump that
supplies the raw water hose connector.
Chapter 8:
Baitwell Supply Pump & Seacock
As the pressure builds in the system, the pump
will shut off. When the system is in use and the
pressure drops, the pump will turn on. The water
system is equipped with a strainer on the intake
side of the pump. The strainer should be checked
frequently and cleaned as necessary.
Whenever the boat is left unattended, the Raw
Water switch should be placed in the OFF position.
Washdown Hose Connector
The raw water washdown hose connection is lo-
cated on the port side of the cockpit and uses a
standard garden hose connector. It is equipped
with a valve that allows the flow of water to be
turned on or off.
