HOT WATER SYSTEM
________________
Your 352 MY is equipped with a 10.5 gallon
water heater, which is operated on the A/C
electrical system. Cold water is supplied to
the water heater via the fresh water pump,
which is then heated for distribution when
desired. Similar to the water heater in your
home, there is always a continuous supply
of water to maintain a full tank at all times.
The water heater in your 352 MY is a “high
recovery” model, meaning the cold water
entering the tank is heated very quickly to
replace the hot water as it is used.
Operation of the water heater is as fol-
lows:
Be certain the water heater is full of
water. You can easily check this by
turning ON a hot water faucet. If water
fl ows from the faucet, the water heater
is full.
If the water heater is not
full of water, damage to the heating ele-
ments may result when electrical power
is turned ON to the unit.
Turn ON the water heater breaker
switch, which is located on the AC/DC
electrical panel (See AC/DC Electrical
Panel Layout on Page 159, which il-
lustrates the location of the water heater
breaker switch).
NOTE: The water heater will operate on
AC electrical current only. You must either
plug in your shore power cord or operate
your generator (if so equipped) for the water
heater to function.

Allow suffi cient time for the water heater
to heat its contained water before using
(approximately 1/2 hour).
General maintenance of the Hot Water
System is as follows:
Inspect all water lines and their connec-
tions at regular intervals. Tighten con-
nections as needed. If the water lines
appear worn or are not fl exible, see your
Silverton dealer for replacement.
Manually operate the pressure relief
valve on the water heater at least once
a year (See photograph below, which
illustrates the location of the valve).
DO NOT operate the pres-
sure relief valve while the water heater
contains hot water. Serious burns or
injury could result.
Flush out the water heater tank at least
once a year, if not used regularly.
Refer to the Winterization and Storage
Section of this Owner’s manual for proper
preparation for seasonal storage of the
water heater.
