Freshwater Pump
Your boat has a fresh water
pump located in the port side
bilge area aft of the battery
trays. To access the pump, lift
the equipment hatch in the aft
cockpit deck.
To operate the system, turn ON
the “FRESHWATER” breaker
located on the DC Breaker Panel located on the
starboard wall of the cabin (See page 4-7).
When activated, the freshwater pump draws water
from the water tank and provides pressure to the
entire freshwater system.
Periodically check the hoses and connections for
leaks and/or loose
fi ttings. A loss of pressure will
result in low water fl ow.
Deck Showers
The 370 Outrage is equipped with two deck showers,
one is located on the starboard side, aft of the transom
door and the other is located forward of the dive door
on the port side of the cockpit.
The showers are supplied by the fresh water system
and have a hose which extends approximately 6’
(1.82M). Both units feature a control handle to adjust
the temperature of the supplied water.
The shower unit is pressurized by the fresh water
pumps and the spray head is activated by depressing
the button on the back of the unit.

Before you fi ll the freshwater system it is vital that

been done.
The following procedure is recommended to disinfect
the freshwater system:
1. Flush the entire system thoroughly by
allowing potable water to fl ow 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, fi ll 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.
