Bayliner helm controls
 

I recently bought a 1986 bayliner trophy 2160. I’ve got it all figured out except the “pull knob� above the ignition key that only says baitwell. What does this do???

It sounds like the pump in the bait well.

A stupid thought, but maybe a light?

If all else fails, try to trace the wires. If it looks original you
might also try calling the Bayliner folks.

You'd think it would activate a pump to either fill or agitate water in the well.
My previous boat had this feature but I didn't even try it out in the 4 seasons I had that boat. No live or dead fish allowed aboard.

If it's red it's the kill switch.Â* They are usually located near the
ignition.


Could be so sun faded it doesn't look red anymore.

Why would a kill switch be labeled baitwell? My guess, and it's only
a SWAG, is that it might be a pump-out for the baitwell since he has
already located the fill/circulating pump switch.

It wouldn't, but it's an old Bayliner. How many baitwell switches are
above the ignition key? A photo would help.
