The hot water heater features a 6 gallon capacity and has
the ability to keep the water warm during cruising. This
is accomplished by a set of hoses connected between
the hot water tank and the circulating engine water pump.
Engine coolant runs through a heat exchanger which
keeps the tank water warm when the engines are running.
To initially fill the hot water heater, ensure the boats
fresh water tank is full. When the tank is full water will
be ejected from the deck vent. At the DC side of the
main ship’s AC/DC panel, turn the fresh water pump to
the “on” position. Make sure the water heater is full
by opening a hot water faucet until a steady stream
flows out. With the generator running or the shore power
connected, switch on the hot water heater at the AC side
of the ship’s service panel. The heating element will now
begin to heat the hot water tank.
Should the hot water heater reset button need resetting,
turn off the hot water breaker at the AC side of the main
control panel. Then remove the panel cover to expose
the reset button. Press the red reset button. After
refastening the access panel, flip on the hot water breaker
to continue the systems operation.
Should the need arise there is a drain valve located in the
rear of the heater. Make sure the water is cold before
attempting to open the valve. The valve runs through
the shower sump pump and then overboard. Never try to
open the drain valve before turning off the AC breaker.
The thermostat is non-adjustable on this unit. Contact a
marine professional for further information.
A T&P valve protects the system from overheating. If
the temperature is too hot, the valve will open.

TO AVOID POSSIBLE BODILY INJURY DUE TO
HOT WATER, BE SURE TO CHECK THE
WATER TEMPERATURE BEFORE USING IT.
THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE AFTER CRUISING
WHEN THE WATER HAS BEEN TRAVELING
THROUGH THE HEAT EXCHANGER HOSES.
!
TO AVOID POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE,
DO NOT TURN ON THE HOT WATER
BREAKER WITHOUT THE WATER HEATER
BEING FULL. DAMAGE TO THE HEATING
ELEMENT WILL OCCUR.

TO AVOID POSSIBLE BODILY INJURY DUE
TO ELECTRICAL SHOCK DO NOT TRY TO
OPEN UP THE HOT WATER TANK
COMPONENTS WHILE THE AC POWER IS
ACTIVATED. TURN HOT WATER BREAKER
OFF AT THE MAIN AC PANEL.
