Water System
Salt Water Washdown
Salt water washdown is standard on the 280 CC model. The
pump is located in the port bilge and is accessible through the
flip up seat opening. To operate, hook a hose to the salt water
receptacle located by the transom gate above the port deck
drain. Flip the switch labeled “Saltwater Washdown”. The
pump will pressurize the system with salt water. Once the
system is pressurized, the pump will shut itself off with an
internal pressure switch and will switch itself back on as you
demand water. There is also a washdown fitting installed in
the anchor hatch if equipped with windlass option (see pg. 29)
to wash off the anchor rode. Be careful to only spray gel-
coated fiberglass surfaces with saltwater and avoid all other
areas. Always rinse your boat with freshwater as soon as you
return to the dock or home if the boat is being trailered.
Fresh Water System
The fresh water tank on your 280 CC can be filled at the cap
labeled “WATER” on the stern gunwale. To pressurize the
system, flip the switch labeled “Fresh Wash Down” on the switch
panel at the helm. You can leave this switch in the ON position
while the boat is in use. The pump has an internal pressure
switch that allows the pump to turn on and off as needed. This
model has a 25 gallon fresh water tank.
In the colder months of the year, it’s advisable to drain the fresh
water system and winterize by adding a non-toxic antifreeze to
the system. Run the antifreeze throughout the system by opening
shower nozzle until antifreeze is delivered through the shower
head.
