Water Systems
9.5
The manual toilet uses raw water for flushing. The
optional electric toilet uses fresh water from the fresh
water system (salt water can damage electric head com-
ponents). Please refer to Figure 9.17 for the raw water
layout for the manual toilet.
For further information on the head system, please refer
to the Waste Systems chapter in this manual.
9.4 Water Heater
The fresh water pump supplies water from the water
tanks to the water heater (and cold water lines). The
water heater is located in the main salon and accessed
through the aft dinette seat lid (Fig. 9.12).
The water heater breaker switch is on the AC panel.
When the breaker is turned ON, the water heater will heat
water until the established temperature level is reached.
Before switching the breaker ON, ensure the fresh water
pump breaker switch on the DC panel is also ON and the
system is pressurized.
Figure 9.12
Follow these procedures when using the water heater:
Make sure the water heater is full of water. Open a
hot water faucet and allow a steady stream of water
to flow out of the faucet to remove all air from the hot
water system.
With shore power connected to your boat, or the
optional generator running, switch on the water

9.3.4 Fresh Water Pump Strainer
The strainer (Fig. 9.8) for the fresh water pump is mount-
ed directly to the pump as noted in Fig. 9.4.
9.3.5 Air Conditioning Pickup and Strainer
As mentioned previously, the optional air condition-
ing system requires raw water to cool the compressor.
Please refer to Figure 9.15 for the raw water system
layout for the air conditioning system.
The pickup (Fig. 9.7) is located in the companionway
landing and accessed through the largest floor panel in
the landing area (refer to the Underwater Gear chapter of
this manual for specific thru-hull locations). The strainer
(Fig. 9.10) is mounted just aft of the air conditioner
pump.
NOTE: Consult the air conditioner manufacturer’s OEM manual
for further details regarding operation, care and maintenance.
9.3.6 Generator Pickup and Strainer
As with your engine, the optional generator will require
the assistance of raw water to maintain proper operating
conditions. The generator pickup is a ball valve seacock
as shown in Fig. 9.7. Please refer to Figure 9.16 for the
raw water layout of the generator system.
The pickup is located in the companionway landing and
accessed through the largest floor panel in the landing
area (refer to the Underwater Gear chapter of this manual
for specific thru-hull locations). The strainer (Fig. 9.10) is
mounted just inline of the generator pickup valve..
NOTE: Consult the generator manufacturer’s OEM manual for
further details regarding operation, care and maintenance.
Always ensure engine, generator and air conditioner
intake valves, or seacocks are open before using
these components. Failure to do so could overheat
and cause them significant damage.
