Bilge
When the boat is out of water it may be drained by a
thru hull drain located at the bottom of the transom.
This drain has a plug that may be removed. This plug
should be periodically checked for tightness.
Automatic bilge pumps have been installed in aft, bilge
area. These should be checked for correct operation
before heading off. You should also check that they are
clear of debris. A separate switch panel is mounted on
the console to operate these. When in the automatic
position, the pumps well turn on when the water level
in the bilge rises enough to raise the float switch and in
turn connect power to run the motors. When in the
manual position, this will over ride the float switch and
the pump will run continuously while the switch is
held.
Water in the bilge can pass freely between all bulk-
heads fore and aft. A tube is installed under the fuel
tank to allow water to pass freely fore and aft.
Anchor Locker
This locker is designed to drain directly overboard the
drain should be checked periodically to make sure it is
free from debris.
MISCELLANEOUS SYSTEMS
Live Bait Well (optional)
The primary function of the live wells is to provide the
means for keeping your bait alive until your day of
fishing ends. Figure 2.3 shows a typical live well sys-
tem.
The live well system has a pump that draws water in
through a hull fitting and pumps the water into the live
wells.
Water above the level of an overflow on the side of the
live well, flows through a hose and out a fitting on the
side of the boat.
To Fill the Live Well
Turn lever on valve to position marked "tank". Check
to make sure the hull valve is turned open; turn on
pump at switch panel. The pump will fill with water
and then flow back out the overflow. By running the
pump continuously, this will keep fresh oxygenated
water in the tank to keep your bait live. To ensure that
your live well remains clean and the water in it remains
fresh, empty the live well after you have finished using
it. To drain the live well turn valve to "sea" and the
water level should start to drop.
If water in the live well system freezes, hoses can break
as the frozen water expands. Be sure to empty the live
well completely during freezing weather.
Do not operate the live well pump if it is not pumping
water. Operating the pump dry can overheat its water-
cooled motor and damage the unit. If water does not
come out of the aerator nozzle:
1. Check the live well fuse on the bow panel.
Replace the fuse if necessary.
2. Make sure the pump is not clogged. If the pump
or thru-hull lifting is clogged, you may be able
to clear the obstruction by forcing water back
through the pump. Using a garden hose, direct
water flow into the pump outlet until water
flows freely from the thru-hull inlet.
3. Make sure current is reaching the pump. Check
and tightened connections. Make sure wires are
not broken.
Fish Boxes
These are used to store your catch of the day. Each box
has a drain over board, which can be plugged with
bungs supplied. This allows you to keep ice in your
box to keep your fish fresh. At the end of the day, you
simply remove the bungs and wash the box clean.
Each box is insulated with rubber seals lids to help
make the ice last as long as possible.
Deck Wash
The deck wash pump delivers water on demand. With
the spray nozzle off (output side closed) the pump will
turn off. As the nozzle is opened, the pressure within
the hose (output sides) drops. Once the pressure drops
below a predetermined point, the pumps pressure
switch closes and the pump operates. With the nozzle
set at a fine mist the pump will cycle, as it is able to
pressurize the hose faster than water being released. If
the spray nozzle is held wide open, the pump will oper-
ate continually. The pump may momentarily operate
