If you find it necessary to run the baitwell pump while you are underway, you may be forcing more water
than necessary up through the seacock. In this instance, adjust the seacock lever to a 45
o
angle so that
the seacock is only halfway open. The seacock lever may require additional adjustments to find a setting
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.
Note: Boats that are equipped with an optional generator and/or air conditioner will have
additional brass seacocks and a strainer installed in the aft (generator) and mid-ship (air
conditioner) bilges to filter seawater. These seacocks should be closed when the
generator and/or air conditioner are not in use.
Bilge Pumps
The boat is equipped with three (3) bilge pumps that are installed as standard equipment. Since there
are 3 bilge pumps, there are 3 bilge pump switches to choose from on the switch panel. The locations of
the three (3) bilge pumps and the labeling of the bilge pump switches are as follows:
•
Bilge 1 and Bilge 2 are both 1500 gph bilge pumps and they are located side by side in
the bilge. Bilge 1 is installed on the starboard side and Bilge 2 is installed on the port
side. If your vessel is equipped with the optional generator, the bilge pumps will be
installed just forward of the unit.
•
Fwd Bilge - This 1100 gph pump is located and accessible via the hinged panel under the
mattress in the mid berth.
There are 2 steps in properly checking the bilge pumps. First, turn the on bilge pump at the instrument
panel by pressing the applicable bilge pump switch to the on or forward position. When the bilge pump
switch is in the on position, the switch light should be illuminated. To check and see if the bilge pump is
operating, open the hatch over the applicable bilge pump and listen to hear the bilge pump running.
Second, turn the bilge pump off at the instrument panel and check the bilge pump float switch. Each
pump is equipped with an automatic float switch (white box) that is mounted next to the bilge pump. As
long as your boat is equipped with an operable battery, each pump will operate independently when water
is present in the area. Each float switch is equipped with two plastic knobs located on either side of the
switch. Turn either one of the knobs to raise the float to engage the bilge pump. If the pump comes on,
