FRESH WATER SYSTEM
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 in the engine compartment
The water tank is located in the bilge below the
cockpit near the bow. The tank is lled through
a labeled deck plate located on the starboard side
of the deck.
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.
WATER AND WASTE PUMPS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO PUMP FUEL
AND A FIRE OR EXPLOSION COULD RESULT. DO NOT CONFUSE
FUEL FILL DECK PLATES WITH THE WATER OR WASTE FILL DECK
PLATES. THESE PLATES ALSO ARE LABELED ACCORDINGLY.
IF GASOLINE OR DIESEL FUEL IS ACCIDENTALLY PUMPED
INTO THE WATER OR WASTE TANK, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
PUMP IT OUT YOURSELF. CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR THE
MONTEREY BOATS 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. After lling the water tank, turn
the Water System switch in the helm switch panel
on and activate the transom shower and all fresh
water faucets. Allow the pump to run until all of
the air is purged from the system and a steady
stream of water is owing from the hose. Turn off
the shower and faucets. As the pressure builds
the pump will automatically shut off.
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 may accumulate at the pump
and the system may have to be re-primed.
The water system is equipped with a strainer on
the intake side of the pump. The strainer should
be checked periodically and cleaned as neces-
sary.
Whenever the boat is left unattended, the Water
System switch should be placed in the “OFF”
position.
Shower Operation
There is a shower located at the transom on the
starboard side, near the transom door. Another
shower could be installed near the forward hatch
as an option. The retractable shower head is
stored in a recessed compartment and equipped
with an ON/OFF valve.
Make sure the Water System switch on the helm
switch panel is on, then turn the water valve on
the shower head on. To conserve water, use the
