A Tip From Carver!
Remember that the fresh water washdown system draws its water from the
boat’s fresh water tank. Prolonged use of the washdown system quickly re-
duces the amount of fresh water in the water tank.
4.2.4 Shore Water
Your boat has a shore water fitting that enables your fresh water system
to draw water from a land water source while your boat is docked. When
you use shore water you are not drawing water from the onboard water
tank.
NOTE: Connecting your boat to shore water bypasses the boat’s fresh
water tank and pressure water pump, therefore the water tank does not
get filled. The only way to fill the fresh water tank is through the deck
plate labeled “WATER.”
When you connect your boat to shore water, switch the Water Pump
circuit breaker on the DC Control Center “OFF.”
To connect to shore water:
1. Locate the shore water fitting, labeled “SHORE WATER,” in the
cockpit in the port aft locker.
2. Attach one end of a garden hose to the shore water fitting.
3. Attach the other end of the hose to the dockside water tap.
4. Close all sink and shower faucets.
5. On the Safety Breaker Panel, verify that the Shower Sump circuit
breaker is “ON.”
6. Turn ON the dockside water tap.
Do not leave your boat unattended when it is connected to shore water.
Should one of the water lines in your boat develop a leak, an unlimited
amount of water could enter your boat. Disconnect the shore water hose
whenever you leave your boat unattended.
