LIVEWELL/FISHBOX OPERATION 245 EXPLORER/OWNER’S MANUAL

[rvnkontum]

New old boat to me, Would someone please run me through operation of live well. I see plug on bottom, stay in, come out? Where does water come in. How do you drain it? Anything you can tell me about the fishbox would also be greatly appreciated. Of course if anyone can give me a lead on an owner’s manual, that would be great. Thanks!

Did you ever have any luck with this?

I have the 250 Explorer. Basically the same. Bait wale first. You should a larger hole in center of it inside. PVC pipe fits in it cut to the desired height you want your water to be. Anything above that level will flow into it draining overboard. The fish box is insulated and has a pump out motor you can access from inside the Bilge. Mine is a 500 GPM

Can you give us the year of your CCP? I think the model was discontinued before the Euro transom was implemented (like '95). The pump was really buried under the liner on those.
I am not familiar with the CCP layout personally but my '92 230 Explorer uses the same hull. The raw water pump on my hull was attached to the seacock pipe  in the rear. If you look under your hull in the aft you should be able to see the raw water rough strainer.  Attached to that is the seacock to shut off the flow.  The pump should be near the seacock.

Here is a pic of what my bilge looked like when I started the refit. Plastic (or equivalent) seacock.


Here is a link to what I replaced the seacock with https://classicaquasport.com/smf/index.php?topic=1529.msg13907#msg13907

Here is a link to the owner manuals we have - they are pretty generic but you may get something close to what you're looking for.

Euro hull design started in 1994.

CCP or EX? CCP production stopped in late 80s.
