6.3 Livewell
Seawater is provided to the livewell by a 12-volt circula-
tion pump. This pump is designed to carry a constant flow
of water to the livewell. The pump is not equipped with a
pressure sensor and is activated by the livewell switch
below the starboard bolster in the cockpit.
An overflow built into the livewell automatically controls
the water level in the livewell. Always turn the pump
“OFF” at the switch panel when the livewell is not in use.
To fill the livewell, insert the plug into the drain fitting at
the bottom of the livewell and activate the livewell switch.
When the water level reaches the overflow, it will begin to
circulate.
To drain the livewell, turn off the livewell pump and pull out the plug in the drain fitting at the
bottom of the livewell. When the livewell has completely drained, use the washdown hose to flush
the livewell and drain of debris.
The livewell supply thru hull valve should be closed whenever the livewell is not in use. This will
prevent water from entering the livewell while the boat is cruising.
The livewell system is equipped with a sea strainer on the intake side of the pump located in the
bilge behind the stern access hatch. This should be checked frequently and cleaned as necessary.
Note: Do not use the livewell as a dry storage area when it is not in use. Seawater could
accidently be delivered to the livewell from the thru hull and damage equipment
stored there.
