Equipment Operation
FRESH WATER PRESSURE PUMP
This device is normally located
on the transom. It allows a hose
to be connected to the inlet
pressure valve. The purpose of
the regulator is to allow only
water pressures up to 35 psi’s to
enter the boat. This device uses
dockside water and a valve in the
system allows the on board fresh
water supply to be bypassed.
This feature bypasses the boat’s fresh water tank, filter,
and pump which won’t effect on board water supplies. It
also eliminates excessive water pressure from bursting
water lines and causing leaks in the boat’s water system.
DOCKSIDE WATER INLET
Your vessel may feature
a hot/cold combo or
cold transom shower
wash down. Note that the
faucet controls are
marked red for hot and
blue for cold. A sprayer
with sufficient hose is
located in the faucet
center. This device is handy for rinsing off before entering
the cockpit from the swim platform.
FRESH WATER WASHDOWN
The fresh water wash down is
located on the forward deck
It consists of a cold water
faucet and attached hose with
a nozzle. When the vessel is
hooked up through the
dockside water inlet the fresh
water washdown operates
using city water. At sea the fresh water tank is its source.

FRESH WATER PUMP
FAUCET
The fresh waterpump is controlled by a breaker on the
main DC control panel. Energizing the switch allows the
pump to build the water pressure in the distribution lines
to around 35 psi.
When the pump reaches this level it should automatically
shut off. If the system drops below a certain pressure the
variable speed pump will restart. If the pump cycles on
and off with no water being used, a leak in the water
system is likely. Periodically clean the water inlet filter and
check the plumbing connectons for tightness. See the
illustration below and the maintenance chapter for
additional information.
