OS 285

The raw water washdown system is equipped with a sea strainer on the intake side of the pump located in the
bilge. This should be checked frequently and cleaned as necessary.
ALWAYS TURN THE RAW WATER PUMP SWITCH TO THE “OFF” POSITION WHEN
LEAVING THE BOAT UNATTENDED.
DO NOT RUN THE HIGH PRESSURE PUMP DRY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AS DAMAGE
TO THE PUMP WILL RESULT.
PRIMING THE SYSTEM
Make sure the ball valves are open. Open the hose connector for the raw water washdown and activate the
pressure pump by turning the washdown pump switch to the “ON” position. Run the pump until all of the
air is purged from the system and then turn the switch to the "OFF" position. Closing the thru-hull ball valves
before the boat is hauled from the water will help to eliminate air locks in raw water systems.
It may be necessary to reprime the raw water system if the system is not used for an extended period and at
the time of launching.
5.3 Air Conditioning Pump (Optional)
The air conditioner is self-contained and sea water cooled. An AC centrifugal raw water pump supplies sea
water that cools the condensing unit as it circulates through the system and is discharged overboard. The pump
is located in the machinery space and is activated whenever AC current is available and the air conditioning
system is operating.
Sea water is supplied to the pump from a thru-hull fitting located in the hull near the pump. A sea strainer
between the pump and thru-hull fitting protects the system from contaminants that could damage the pump
or the air conditioning system. Make sure the sea water pump receives adequate sea water by periodically
cleaning the sea strainer basket.
The pump, the strainer and seacock are located in the machinery space.
Please refer to the air conditioner owner's manual for more information on the operation and maintenance of
the air conditioner.
5.4 Livewell
Sea water is provided to the livewell by a 12-volt pump. This pump is designed to carry a constant flow of
water to the livewell. The pump is activated by the livewell switch 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.
The livewell pump is equipped with a sea strainer on the intake side of the pump located in the bilge. This
should be checked frequently and cleaned as necessary.
