9.1 Fresh Water Tanks and Fills
The fresh water system on your boat includes two water
tanks with a 40 US gallon (151.4L) capacity per tank.
Each tank includes a water fill fitting (Fig. 9.1), located on
the port and starboard side decks. Both the port and star
-
board tank fill fittings are located forward of the jib slider
track. Also each tank has a vent fitting (see the Waste
chapter in this manual for details on venting) to allow the
tank to “breathe”. The port tank vent is a thru-hull fitting
located aft of the water fill fitting. The starboard tank vent
is a deck fitting located on the toe-rail near the water fill
fitting (see Boating Safety and Underwater Gear chapters
of this manual for the deck hardware and thru-deck loca
-
tion diagrams).
The fresh water tanks are located in the main salon. The
port tank can be accessed through the port aft settee bot-
tom panels and/or adjacent floor panes (Fig. 9.2). The
starboard tank can be accessed through the aft dinette
seat bottom panels to the left of the water heater (under
the optional air conditioner) (9.3).

Open a water tank fill fitting (Fig. 9.1).
Using the hose from the potable water supply, fill the
tank until water starts flowing through the vent.
Close the fill fitting.
Repeat steps 2-4 for the second tank.
Before connecting to a dock side water source,
make certain the water is suitable for drinking. Wa-
ter that may be of questionable quality could result
in serious illness or death.
