inside diameter. 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. 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 42C is equipped with a dockside
water inlet located in the transom storage
compartment. The photo below shows the
Fresh Water Inlet.
This system operates independently of
the Fresh Water Pump System and simply
depends on its connection to a suitable
garden-type water hose for its supply of
fresh water. When the water supply is
connected to the water inlet and turned
ON, the system is automatically pressur-
ized without the need for the fresh water
water pump will automatically shut off. The
fresh water system should maintain the
preset level of water pressure until one
of the faucet or shower valves is opened.
When the required pressure is lowered be-
low the preset level, the fresh water pump
will automatically return to operation.
Fresh Water Filter:
The water pumped from the fresh water
tank fl
ows through a fi lter located on the
suction side of the fresh water pump. Its
purpose is to remove impurities that may
be present in the fresh water system prior
to its consumption. The fi lter is easily
removed from the fresh water pump and
should be cleaned on a regular basis.
The photo below shows (from left to right)
the Accumulator, Fresh Water Pump, and
the Filter. The accumulator maintains a
constant pressure throughout your water
system.
Fresh Water Lines (Cold Water and
Hot Water): The fresh water lines carry
the water from the fresh water tanks, the
water heater, and the various faucets
located in the Galley and Head areas of
your 42C. They are constructed of poly-
butylene plastic material and are 1/2 inch
