Fresh Water Lines (Cold Water and Hot
Water): The fresh water lines carry the
water from the fresh water tank to the wa-
ter heater and the various faucets located
in the Galley and Head areas of your 352
MY. They are constructed of polybutylene
plastic material and are 1/2 inch inside di-
ameter. The COLD WATER lines have pale
blue manufacturer’s lettering and the HOT
WATER lines have pale red manufacturer’s
lettering for identifi cation purposes (See
Plumbing Layout on Page 157). The fresh
water lines require minimal maintenance,
but they should be visually examined on
a regular basis for any leaks, chafi ng or
cracking. Tighten any loose connections
as necessary. See your Silverton dealer
for inspection of any suspected defective
fresh water lines and their replacement, if
necessary.
Dockside Water Supply System
Your 352 MY is equipped with a dockside
water inlet located in the transom storage
compartment (See photograph below, which
illustrates the location of the dockside water
inlet). This system operates independently
of the Fresh Water Pump System and sim-
ply depends on its connection to a suitable
garden-type water hose for its supply of
fresh water. When the water supply is con-
nected to the water inlet and turned ON,
the system is automatically pressurized
without the need for the fresh water pump.
The water entering this system will not fi ll
the fresh water tank; a check valve, located
in the pressure line of the fresh water pump,
prevents the water from entering the fresh
water tank.
Connect this system ONLY
to a potable water system that is safe for
drinking. DO NOT use water that may be
of questionable quality as serious illness
or death may occur.
When you are connecting your system to a
dockside water supply, be certain to exam-
ine all connections and water lines for any
leaks. If any leaks are noted, turn OFF the
water supply immediately and make the
necessary repairs before you again turn
ON the water supply. Remove any trapped
air from the water system by opening all
faucets until the air is exhausted and there
is a steady fl ow of water. Close the faucets
after the air is removed.
Always turn OFF the dock-
side water supply source when leaving
your yacht unattended. A leak in the
system could result in fl ooding and may
cause your yacht to sink.
