The hand shower is an integral part of your boat's fresh
water system. Simply turn on the faucets and adjust
them for the desired water temperature. The hand
shower and mixing valves are located in the starboard
corner of the transom or cockpit.
Fresh Water Washdown
The optional fresh water washdown enables you to use
water from the fresh water tank to washdown and clean
your boat. Fresh water washdown is especially useful if
you operate your boat in salt water.
To use the fresh water washdown:
1. Locate the transom-mounted hose fitting and valve.
2. Attach one end of a nylon water hose to the hose
fitting.
3. Attach a nozzle to the other end of the hose. The
best type of nozzle to use is the “pistol grip” type
that can be opened and closed by squeezing your
hand.
4. Open the valve at the base of the hose fitting to
supply water to the hose. Use the washdown as you
would a garden hose at your home.
The optional raw water washdown enables you to use
seawater to washdown and clean your boat.
To use the raw water washdown:
1. Locate the transom-mounted hose fitting in the
transom's lower starboard corner.
2. Attach one end of a 3/4" nylon water hose to the
hose fitting.
3. Attach a nozzle to the other end of the hose. The
best type of nozzle to use is the “pistol grip” type
that can be opened and closed by squeezing your
hand.
4. Open the seacock that supplies seawater to the raw
water washdown pump.

Remember that the fresh water
washdown system draws its
water from the boat's fresh water
tank. Prolonged use of the
washdown system quickly
reduces the amount of fresh
water in the water tank.
