EACOCKS
Ball valve seacocks are installed on the thru hulls for the livewell and washdown features, as
well as the head inlet and head discharge. It is necessary for the seacocks to be in the open
position for operation. To open, pull up on the handle – livewell and washdown – or the remote
arm –head discharge and head inlet – attached to the seacock. The open position is identified by
the orientation of the handle. If the handle is in line or parallel to the body of the valve, the
seacock is in the open position. If the handle is perpendicular to the body of the valve, the seacock
is in the closed position. The open position can be obtained by pulling up on the remote arm
attached to the seacock handles. Pushing down on the remote arm closes the seacock.

PERATION
To operate the washdown, open the seacock with the washdown I.D. tag located on starboard
side of the aft bilge. Depress the washdown switch on the accessory switch panel. This system
will now be pressurized at the washdown faucet outlet. This faucet may be used alone or with a
hose. A hose with a spray nozzle attached may be used intermittently without turning the switch
off in the same fashion as a home yard hose with a nozzle. The washdown pump has an internal
pressurization switch that will maintain water pressure as needed until the switch is turned off at
the switch panel. The pump is mounted to the transom in the aft port storage compartment. See
“Livewell/Washdown Layout” on page 8–22
for a layout diagram.
N O T I C E
All seacocks should be in the closed position if not in use or if the boat is unattended to prevent the
taking on of water if a plumbing component fails.
