2005 201xl manual

[BrianD]

I just purchased this boat in Jan. I am trying to figure out the switches to control everything. For example on the aerator I have a main switch and an aux. switch. Do I need to have both on? Currently I just push both up and it has been working fine on the timer, but I would like to know if this is the proper way to run these. I couldn't figure out how to circulate the livewell while on the trailer. I had both switches in the on position and the switch next to the seat in the recirculate position and the plug out of the inside of the livewell. Couldn't get it to recirc. am I missing something? On the bilge pump, which way does the switch go to have in auto? Any help would be appreciated. On my old procraft I had it was simple you turned the bilge on when you wanted it on and same with the livewells I had one switch to turn them on. So I would like to have a manual to read so I understand everything on the boat, not only about the switches but any fuses, resets, etc.


Thanks

Go to the Flow-Rite link I've pasted in below. It has diagrams to help you visualize the fill, recirc, and pumpout. I've had to refer to that site a couple of times. Hope this helps.

Main aerator switch- fills from the lake and are the aerator pumps for recirc. when the drain valve is set to recirc...Also is the pump out pump, set the drain valve to recirc and pull out on the red aerator head and it will pump out, instead of recirc...

Aux switch- only fills from the lake and is not effected by the drain valve...

Both have full time on and timed positions...


You should not need a plug in the livewell ever...Use the drain valve by the throttle...Set it to auto to take on lake water, set to recirc to recirculate the water or for putting it on trailer and empty to empty...

Bilge pump is on manually when the switch is on and on auto all the time..Power for the auto bilge pump is not run thru the switch...

All breakers are on the panel under the console and are marked...
There are 2 fuses for the livewll timers under the console, behind the master switch panel...Don't ask me why, they are just there...

This is the best I can do to help, did not get a manual with mine, just figured it out trial and error.....

Duane and Russ, thanks for the info. Russ the reason I have the plug in the livewell is because when my flowrite switch is in empty my livewells fill up when I am in the water and the livewells are not on. From reading the flowrite website they are not suppose to do that. I was also told from the previous owner that when the switch is in auto and you are running you loose level in the livewell. I will have to look around a little closer I didn't see the red aerator head you were talking about. Any ideas on what I need to fix or replace to get the flowrite to work properly?

Thanks

may need new valve kits from flowrite...I would try to get to them and clean them out and see if there is something in them, or they are not closing all the way...

Do you have pump out thru-hulls on the back port side of the boat?.. I so, then the red aerator is in the top back of each livewell...It is a little hard to get to, but it is there...Once you find it, it is not hard to reach, just hard to see..

Thanks found the red aerator handle. Didn't even know it was there,

Thanks
