Can both tanks be outfitted with the aerator and recirculation pump?

[@SportsmanBoatsOffical]

That is not an option from the factory but you can have your dealer install these before you take delivery or even after you have owned the boat for a bit.

What should we check if the livewell pump doesn't come on ? Where are the reset fuses ? I could check for power at the pump when I take it back out of storage but it's a new boat that is only 6 months old

[@SportsmanBoatsOffical]

This is from Chase himself, "The first thing I would check is the fuse located in the fuse panel in the console. Next be sure the pump has a solid ground connection by tracing the wire to the block or just cleaning and securing all the grounds he can find. Some models have ground block in the bilge as well. Lastly be sure the switch has a good connection and nothing has pulled loose behind the dash, if digital be sure fuse in DCM is secure and switch is in correct position for Maretron." If you're continuing to have any issues please reach out to your dealer as they'll be able to help resolve this issue.

2024, 232 what is the max bridge clearance on the water with a radar or satellite weather antenna?

[@SportsmanBoatsOffical]

Sorry for the late response. I spoke with one of our technical reps and the height of the boat is 111-inches. On the water subtract the 16-inch draft and add 4-inches for VHF antenna mount as this is higher than the satellite antenna. So you're looking at roughly 8-feet 4-inches for clearance. I do not have the height of the radar but would say clearance would be no less than 8-feet 10-inches to be safe. For further questions please feel free to reach out via our tech talk email [e-mail]

I have another question for you is the 232 unsinkable or positive flotation?
