7.1 General
The fresh water system consists of a potable water
tank, distribution lines and a distribution pump. The
pump is equipped with an automatic pressure switch
and is located near the water tank in the forward
below deck storage compartment.
DO NOT FILL SYSTEM WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN WATER.
SHOULD THE SYSTEM BECOME CONTAMINATED WITH FUEL
OR OTHER TOXIC FLUIDS, COMPONENT REPLACEMENT
MAY BE NECESSARY.
DO NOT CONFUSE FUEL FILL DECK PLATE WITH THE WATER
OR WASTE FILL DECK PLATES. THESE PLATES ALSO
ARE LABELED ACCORDINGLY. IF FUEL IS ACCIDENTALLY
PUMPED INTO THE WATER OR WASTE TANK, DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO PUMP IT OUT YOURSELF. WATER AND WASTE
PUMPS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO PUMP FUEL AND A FIRE
OR EXPLOSION COULD RESULT. CONTACT YOUR DEALER
OR THE BLACKFIN CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT
FOR ASSISTANCE IN HAVING THE FUEL PROFESSIONALLY
REMOVED AND COMPONENTS OF THE FRESH WATER
SYSTEM REPLACED AS NECESSARY.
7.2 Fresh Water System Operation
Fill the water supply tank slowly through the la-
beled deck ll tting. After lling the water tank,
activate the Fresh Water Pump switch in the helm
switch panel and open the valve on the fresh water
washdown faucet or prep station sink spray head.
Allow the pump to run until all of the air is purged
from the system and a steady stream of water
is owing from the faucet or spray head. Close
the valve to stop the water ow. As the pressure
builds the pump will automatically shut o.
When properly primed and activated, the water
system will operate much like the water system
in a home. An automatic pressure sensor keeps
the system pressurized. If the system has been
recently lled or has not been used for an ex-
tended period, air bubbles may accumulate at the
pump and the system may have to be reprimed.
Chapter 7:
Fresh Water Fill
Whenever the boat is left unattended, the Fresh
Water Pump switch should be placed in the OFF
position.
DO NOT ALLOW THE FRESH WATER PUMP TO RUN DRY. THE
FRESH WATER PUMP WORKS ON DEMAND AND WILL NOT
SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE TANK IS EMPTY.
THIS CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE PUMP. ALWAYS
TURN THE FRESH WATER SWITCH OFF WHEN THE SYSTEM
IS NOT IN USE.
