SYSTEMS
THE LIVEWELL PUMP
ASSEMBLY IN THE “OPEN
POSITION
Ball Valves
Ball valves can be used to serve several purposes. They
allow seawater to enter the boat, in the case of livewells,
and they also act as a safeguard to stop water from
entering. To tell which position a ball valve is in, open or
closed, look at the valve and determine the direction of
flow. When the ball valve handle is in the same position
as the direction of flow, the valve is in the “OPEN”
position. When the ball valve handle appears to cross the
direction of flow, the valve is in the “CLOSED” position.
2300 Deckdrain System
The deckdrain system is equipped with 1 1/2” thru hull
fittings through the aft port and starboard hull sides.
These fittings have to be installed lower than the drains in
the cockpit floor so that gravity will allow the cockpit to
drain free of water. This puts these fittings very close to
the water line of the hull. These drains are rigged with ball
valves that can be opened and closed to control the flow
of water. In the open position, these ball valves will allow
water to flow freely from the cockpit, thus making the boat
“self-bailing”. When closed, no water will be allowed to
travel to or from the cockpit.
2300 Livewell Pump Assembly
The livewell pump assembly is composed of a scoop
strainer mounted to the bottom of the hull, a thru hull
fitting, ball valve assembly, and the pump. As you can
see, the ball valve assembly is in the “OPEN” position.
This is the correct position for the operation of the livewell
system.
