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
stern bilge.
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 THE FUEL FILL DECK PLATE WITH THE
WATER FILL DECK PLATE. THESE PLATES ALSO ARE LABELED
ACCORDINGLY. IF GASOLINE IS ACCIDENTALLY PUMPED
INTO THE WATER TANK, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUMP IT OUT
YOURSELF. WATER PUMPS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO PUMP
FUEL AND A FIRE OR EXPLOSION COULD RESULT. CONTACT
YOUR DEALER OR THE 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 plate located at the rear of the cockpit.
After lling the water tank, activate the shower
head. The Fresh Water switch on the helm switch
panel should be on. Allow the pump to run until
all of the air is purged from the system and a
steady stream of water is owing shower. Turn
o the shower. 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 re-
cently lled or has not been used for an extended
period, air bubbles could accumulate at the pump
and the system may have to be reprimed.
Whenever the boat is left unattended, the Fresh
Water 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 FRESH WATER
SYSTEM IS NOT IN USE.
