5.2 Raw Water Washdown

The raw water washdown system pump is supplied by hoses connected to a ball valve and a thru-hull fitting

located in the bilge.

OPERATION

Always make sure the ball valve is open before attempting to operate the raw water

washdown system. The pump is activated by the washdown switch located on the

helm. When activated, the pressure switch will automatically control the pump. As

the pressure builds in the washdown hose, the pump will shut off. When the

washdown hose is in use and the pressure drops, the pump will turn on. Turn the

switch off when the washdown is not in use. The raw water washdown system is

equipped with a sea strainer on the intake side of the pump located in the aft bilge.

This should be checked frequently and cleaned as necessary.

PRIMING THE SYSTEM

Open the ball valve. Open the hose connector for the raw water washdown and

activate the pressure pump. Run the pump until all of the air is purged from the

system. Close the thru-hull ball valve before the boat is hauled from the water to

eliminate an air lock in the system. It may be necessary to reprime the raw water system if the system is not

used for an extended period.

ALWAYS TURN THE RAW WATER PUMP SWITCH TO THE “OFF” POSITION WHEN LEAV-

ING THE BOAT UNATTENDED.

DO NOT RUN THE HIGH PRESSURE PUMP DRY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AS DAMAGE TO

THE PUMP WILL RESULT.

5.3 Livewell

The livewell is standard on the C 280 and C 310 and optional on the S 310. The C 310 and optional S 310

livewells are equipped with an aerator.

Sea water is provided to the livewell by a 12-volt circulating 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.

To fill the livewell, insert the plug into the drain fitting at the bottom of the livewell. Make sure the ball valve

at the intake thru-hull fitting is open and turn on the livewell switch. When the water level reaches the

overflow, it will begin to circulate.
