and fishability of your new boat.
We value your input, not just at the time of the sale, but

Tight lines and screaming drags!

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Maintenance
Hewes Boats advises owners that maintenance and repairs should be performed at an authorized Hewes dealer. The
following information is general in nature and should not be considered a repair manual or guidelines set forth by Maverick
Boat Company.
Cleaning
Each Hewes boat is constructed using the finest materials and components available. However, no material is immune to the
ravages of the saltwater environment. After each use, your boat should be rinsed thoroughly with fresh water. A mild
detergent may also be used to remove any dirt, silt or stains. A light coat of lubricant on metal railing, screws and electrical
connections will help prevent electrolysis. The same holds true for your trailer.

ENGINE BREAK-IN
Engine stop switch (above)
Engine Break-In Period
New engines require a period of break-in to allow the
surfaces of the moving parts to mate evenly. Different
engines require different break-in periods and methods.
For instructions on break in methods, refer to your
Yamaha Engine Owner’s Manual for the correct break-in
procedures and times for your model engines
Engine Stop Switch
If activated, the spring loaded engine stop switch will
automatically shut down the engine during emergency
situations to prevent uncontrolled or unattended
operation. Certain emergency conditions (e.g., turbulent
water, wakes, unanticipated movement) may impair a
person’s ability to operate the craft safely. The switch,
located on the helm, must have the safety lanyard
attached at its base. This activates the protective
shutdown circuitry.
Securely attach the other end of the lanyard to the
operator of the boat. If the operator moves, falls or is at
an unsafe distance from the steering wheel, tension on
the lanyard will pull it from the switch. When the lanyard is
removed, the engine stop switch is released and
automatic engine shutdown occurs.
Engine Stop Switch
An engine stop switch system that is not used or does not function properly can cause death or serious injury.
DO NOT operate the boat if the engine stop switch system does not function properly. Go to a Hewes Dealer to
have this resolved immediately
The lanyard should be securely attached to the boat operator at all times that the
engine is on.

FUEL-WATER SEPARATOR & DRAIN
Fuel/Water Separator (above)
Fuel-Water Separator
Each boat is equipped with a fuel water separator to
ensure maximum performance and protect the outboard
engine from contaminated gasoline. The fuel separator
is a metal, cylindrical unit secured to the transom section
of your starboard aft rigging box.
The fuel separator can be checked by removing it from
the mounting bracket in the rigging locker and dumping it
into an approved waste collection device. If there
appears to be an excessive amount of water, the filter
component should be changed. See your authorized
Hewes dealer for replacement parts.
Maintenance Note
In addition, the fuel separator should be changed as part of routine maintenance at 20, 50 and 100 hour checks.
Garboard Drain Plug
The garboard drain plug is the small metal plug located at
the lowest point on the hull, at the bottom of the transom
right above the keel. The drain has been designed so that
it can be loosened by hand while the hull is out of the
water for draining. This allows the plug to stay in contact
with the surrounding frame so you’ll never misplace or
lose it. You can completely remove the insert by pulling
back and continue turning in a counter clockwise motion.
It is manufactured with a rubber seal in place to ensure
you bilge is watertight. Always make sure before putting
the boat in the water that this plug is hand tightened
firmly. Excess water in the bilge may be an indication of a
problem with this plug or the automatic bilge pump. Refer
to page 11 of this Owner’s Manual for information on your
boats bilge system.

SWITCH AND INSTRUMENT
Gauges
The standard digital gauges include a Yamaha tachometer and a Yamaha speedometer. The tachometer has
several built in features including an engine temperature monitor, oil level monitor and engine trim indicator. The
speedometer includes a digital readout of the speed, an hour meter, trip meter and clock. For more information
on the specifics of your Yamaha gauges, see your Yamaha
owner's manual.
Switch Panel
The dual activation switches are set in a standard grid.
These switches can be flipped either up or down to control
different accessories. The accessories located directly
above a switch are activated when the switch is in the “Up”
position and the accessories located directly below the
switch are activated when the switch is flipped into the
“Down” position. For example, in the “Up” position the
second switch from the left will turn on the navigation lights,
but if in the “Down” position it will turn on the anchor lights.
The bilge switch is an on-demand switch to run your bilge
pump and is used as a backup in case the float switch in
your bilge pump becomes clogged.

TROLLING MOTOR WIRING SYSTEM
Trolling Motor Wiring System
Your Hewes 16 Redfisher comes standard with a 24V trolling motor wiring system. A trolling motor mounting plate was
built into the bow of your Hewes during the manufacturing process. To attach a trolling motor, please go to your nearest
Hewes dealer. All trolling motors should be attached by drilling through the mounting plate with a 13/64” drill bit and 1/4”
tap and using 1/4” #20 machine screws. The plate is designed to accommodate the mounting patterns of all trolling motor
brands on the market currently. See below for trolling motor system with optional battery charger and wire routing.

BALL VALVE OPERATION
THE LIVEWELL PUMP
ASSEMBLY IN THE “OPEN
POSITION
Ball Valves
Ball valves can be used to serve several purposes. They
allow seawater to enter the boat, in the case of livewells,
and they also act as a safeguard to stop water from
entering in case of part failure, and function as an
emergency shutoff. To tell which position a ball valve is in,
open or closed, look at the valve and determine the
direction of flow. When the ball valve handle is in the
same position as the direction of flow, the valve is in the
“OPEN” position. When the ball valve handle appears to
cross the direction of flow, the valve is in the “CLOSED”
position.
Redfisher Livewell Pump Assembly
The livewell pump assembly is composed of a scoop
strainer mounted to the bottom of the hull, a thru hull
fitting, ball valve assembly, and the pump. As you can
see, the ball valve assembly is in the “OPEN” position.
This is the correct position for the operation of the livewell
system.
