pressure re

around 35 psi

Important: Always disconnect the dockside water supply when
you leave your boat unattended. A major leak or break in the
system could flood your boat. Excess water in the bilge may
sink your boat or flood the batteries and engine. Your warranty
does not cover this damage.
Note: Before you connect your boat’s water system to the dock-
side water supply, make sure the dockside water supply is suit-
able for drinking. Check with the dockmaster to be sure.
