The seacock is OPEN when the lever is in line with the pipe.
The seacock is CLOSED when the lever is at right angle (90 degrees).
CAUTION: Keep seacocks, cockpit drains, bungs and other opening/closing devices in
the hull closed or open, as appropriate, to minimize the risk of flooding.
7.2. WATER SYSTEMS
7.2.1. FRESH WATER SYSTEM
TANKS
The sailing yacht is equipped with fresh water tanks (see Fig.11-1 and 11-2). They are filled
via fresh water fillers (see Fig.11-1 and 11-2) marked “WATER”. Unscrew the plug using a
winch handle. A fresh water level indicator is located on the electrical control panel. The
tanks are connected, so that the water level is equal in all tanks. At the top of the tanks,
there is an opening for inspection and cleaning.
CAUTION: After filling the tanks, close the fillers carefully and screw the tight to
avoid the risk of seawater entering the fresh water tanks.
To avoid the risk of contaminating one liquid with the other one, never fill
fresh water and fuel at the same time.
CONSUMERS
An electrical fresh water pump (see Fig.11-1 and 11-2) located inside the galley is used to
pump fresh water to the consumers. The fresh water pump is automatically shut off by a
pressure valve when pressure reaches 1.5 bar.
CAUTION: Take care not to operate the electric pump when the fresh water tanks
are empty.
Always open the sink and waste water seacocks when using fresh water
from the tanks.
When sailing close the water tank connection valve.
