Fresh Water System
cooling system on one of the engines. The heat
exchanger will heat the water in the hot water
tank whenever that engine is operating.
Plumbing the heat exchanger to an engine is
-
ciency, the engine heat exchanger is of the single
wall type. The fresh water supply could become
contaminated with engine coolant if the heat ex-
changer in the water heater fails and the engine
is equipped with the optional fresh water cooling
system.
MOST ENGINE COOLANT IS TOXIC AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH IF IT CONTAMINATES THE FRESH WATER
SUPPLY AND SOMEONE DRINKS THE WATER. NEVER DRINK
THE WATER FROM THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM FAUCETS
WHEN THE ENGINE HEAT EXCHANGER IS ACTIVATED IN THE
WATER HEATER.
A high pressure relief valve protects the system
from excessive pressure. Always make sure all
air is purged from the water heater and lines be-
fore activating the water heater breaker. Refer
to the water heater owner’s manual for additional
information.
DO NOT SUPPLY CURRENT TO AN EMPTY WATER HEATER.
DAMAGE TO THE HEATER WILL RESULT. THE SYSTEM MUST
BE FILLED AND PRIMED BEFORE USING THE WATER HEATER.
7.4 Shore Water Connection (328SS)
The shore water connection allows the direct con-
nection of the water system to a shore side water
supply. This provides the system with a constant
supply of fresh water and minimizes the pressure
in the stern near the transom door. A pressure
reducer is installed in the system along with two
check valves. One check valve keeps water from
the pressure pump operates. The second provides
protection for the pressure pump when the shore
water is connected.
To use shore water, connect a hose from the shore
the transom storage compartment. Next, turn
on the shore water. The pressure pump will not
run and the water in the boat’s water tank will
not be used.
NOTICE:
-
ing to shore water.
DO NOT MODIFY OR CHANGE THE SHORE WATER INLET
CONNECTOR WITH ANOTHER TYPE WITHOUT CONSULTING
MONTEREY BOATS CUSTOMER SERVICE OR YOUR DEALER.
THE USE OF THE WRONG TYPE OF INLET CONNECTOR CAN
DAMAGE THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM.
A SHORE WATER CONNECTION PROVIDES AN UNLIMITED
SUPPLY OF WATER THAT COULD SINK THE BOAT. YOU
SHOULD MONITOR THE SYSTEM FOR LEAKS WHEN IT IS
CONNECTED AND ALWAYS TURN THE SHORE WATER SUPPLY
VALVE OFF WHEN LEAVING THE BOAT UNATTENDED.
7.5 Shower Operation
There is a shower located in the head compart-
ment on 328SS and at the transom on the port
side, near the transom door. Each shower has
a retractable shower head with an on/off valve.
328SS models also have hot and cold water.
Make sure the Water System/Pump switch or
circuit breaker is on, then turn the water on. If
your boat water system equipped with a water
the desired temperature is obtained. Some minor
variations in the water temperature may occur as
the pressure pump cycles. To conserve water, use
