2014 Glacier Bay 2770 Owners Manual
9.1.4 Freshwater System
The freshwater pump is mounted to the starboard hullside and can be reached by removing the battery
management panel or the trash can compartment behind the sink. The pump is connected to the 20 gallon
freshwater tank located in the hull forward of the starboard fuel tank. The tank is filled through a fitting
located on the starboard side of the deck. Similar to residential well pumps, the freshwater pump
pressurizes the system to 45 psi. then shuts down until the pressure drops below that level. Most owners
leave the pump “on” throughout the day, and use the system when necessary. On the 2770 the freshwater
pump feeds the pull out shower located on the aft transom wall, freshwater wiper rinse, sink and the marine
head. To view the layout of the freshwater system see see section 9.4.8.
9.1.5 Seacocks
Ball valves (seacocks) are installed on the water intake for both the livewell and raw water system. The
seacock must be in the open position for these systems to work. When open, the handle will be parallel to
the valve. In the closed position the handle is perpendicular to the valve (see picture below). Glacier Bay
recommends that the seacocks remain in the closed position when not in use, or when the boat is left unat-
tended to prevent the vessel from taking on water due to a plumbing failure.
OPEN CLOSED
9.1.6 Livewell System
The 2770 has a 25 gallon livewell system. which is supplied by a dual purpose livewell pump. The pump is
located in the port bilge compartment and can be reached through the inspection port in the motorwell. The
wiring is secured to the pump using a tie-strap, and must be disconnected prior to removing the pump.
The livewell pump draws water through the strainer mounted on the inboard side of the port sponson. A
seacock is installed between the pickup and the pump to allow you to seal the system between use, or in the
event of a plumbing failure.
To operate the livewell, first verify that the seacock is open, then plug the bottom drain with the livewell
plug supplied. When you have completed these steps, engage the livewell pump using the switch at the
dash. Water will fill the tank until it is level with the overboard drain, which evacuates water through the
hullside. When you have finished using the livewell, remove the water by removing the livewell plug from
the bottom drain.
NOTICE
While underway, leaving your livewell seacock open could result in inadvertently filling your
livewell. To prevent this, close the seacock when the pump is not in operation.
