5.3 Livewell
Sea water is provided to the livewell by a 12-volt
circulation 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 in the 12-volt
panel or a separate switch in the cockpit. A light
in the livewell is also activated by the livewell
switch.
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. Make sure the
valve at the intake thru-hull fitting is open 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. Sea water could
accidently be delivered to the livewell from the thru-hull and damage equipment
stored there.
