d) Fresh water pump
About fresh water :
Fresh water tank, with a 1000 l (220 Imperial Gallons
, 264 U.S. Gallons ) capacity, is in the
keel. The pump is in the engine room. Don’t use it without water, because the bronze turbine
may break down prematurely. The fresh water level is given using a floating pipe, placed
portside of the companionway (see Pict. 66 – Seawater and sump alarm). Filling up the fresh
water tank is made from the cockpit, unscrewing the cap under the steering wheel).
Pict. 73 – Fresh water filling up
It has a priming hole (see the drawing of the manufacturer).
When it’s freezing, drain the pump, open all the taps (don’t forget the cockpit shower, see
Pict. 56 – Starboard cockpit locker ) and drain the hot water heater.
