New to me 1998 Pursuit 2460 question

[POPPAJ]

Love the boat, but can't seem to locate the valve for the raw water inlet for bait well/washdown. I've got the owners manual, but it only gives the most general of terms and not the specific location. Previous owner didn't know as he never used it. Thanks for your help. I'm just too old and out of shape the be crawling around searching for it.

Seriously,if you can"t follow the hose to the valve which is normaly located above the thru hull ftg how are you going to bend over to turn it on ? I am 64 and just swapped out a hot water heater which required removing a refigerator along with a cabinet in a area that is no bigger than a base cabinet in your kitchen.How hard can it be to lift up a few hatches or unscrew a access plate to locate the valve ? Lazy and owning a boat do not go together IMHO.

Damm, that's harsh!

Thanks so much for your response mr88. Being 70 and having the use of only one arm slows me down a bit. I'll try harder.
Thanks for the welcome. Hope you make it into triple digits. IQ

Exactly where does it say you have the use of one hand ? You are using this for fishing and I am sure you get around when there is a fish on. No one else has posted a reply and I gave you a idea where to start. I went and googled a- 1998 Pursuit 2466 raw water valve- and the first thing that pops up is a Denali ,not sure if thats your model and the owners PDF manual. In section 6.1 it states "......... to a ball valve and the thru hull ftg located in the bilge compartment" . Try starting there as Pursuit usually build the lower part of the hulls all the same.Sorry I missed it was your first post ,so welcome and I wasn't trying to be harsh,just a kick in the pants to someone from my generation that usually grabs the bull by the horns[ and 70 isn't old in my book ]
