The 20 Gal. (76 L) freshwater tank is located in the
aft bilge and can be reached through an access plate
in the motorwell.
The fill cap is located on the aft starboard side of
the boat. Fill the tank only from a source known to
provide safe, pure drinking water. Use only a plastic
hose to fill the water tank. Using a rubber hose can
give the water a disagreeable taste.
Before you fill the freshwater system it is vital that
it be properly disinfected. Ask your dealer if this has
been done.
The following procedure is recommended to disinfect
the freshwater system:
1. Flush the entire system thoroughly by
allowing potable water to flow through it.
2. Drain the system completely.
3. Fill the entire system with an approved
disinfecting solution (check with your
dealer for recommendations) and follow the
method prescribed by the manufacturer.
4. After disinfecting, drain the entire system.
5. Flush the entire system thoroughly several
more times with potable water.
6. Now the system is ready for use, fill with
potable water.
This should be done annually or before using the
system if it has been laid up for an extended amount
of time.
