Transom Shower
Nothing is more luxurious than being able to rinse yourself off with
fresh water after swimming or water skiing in salt water. Some mod-
els have an optional transom shower which is located at the
transom and has pressurized water. Most showers have a push but-
ton shower head. Pressure water switch is located at helm.
Sanitizing the Fresh Water System
Sanitize the fresh water system before you use it the first time,
when you recommission your boat after winter storage, or when
system has not been used for an extended period of time.
Note: Fresh water tank must be empty before beginning sani-
tizing process. Empty tank if necessary.
To sanitize the tank:
1. Pour 10 ounces of household bleach for every 10 gallons of
capacity into the water tank.
2. Fill the water tank with fresh clean water.
3. Turn on water pump switch to pump water throughout the system.
4. When a steady stream of water is coming from the faucets, all
air is out of the system. Turn switch OFF after closing faucets.
5. Allow treated water solution to remain in tank for 3 to 4 hours.
6. Turn on water pump switch and pump all treated water solution
from tank and lines through all faucets.
7. Refill tank with fresh water and turn on pump to thoroughly flush
entire system with fresh water after each sanitizing.
Note: If fresh water tastes like chlorine after sanitizing, pour a
solution of 1 quart of vinegar and 5 gallons of fresh water into
the tank and allow solution to stand in tank for several days.
Then drain entire system and flush with fresh water. Fill tank
with fresh water.
