To operate the water heater:
1. Fill, pressurize and prime the fresh water system.
This automatically fills the water heater.
2. Switch the Shore 1 or upper Generator circuit
breaker group (depending on the boat’s AC power
source) on the AC Control Center "ON".
3. Switch the Water Heater circuit breaker on the AC
Control Center "ON".
4. Refer to the OEM information for details on operat-
ing the water heater.
Showers and Sinks
Your boat has a shower in the master (aft) head and a
shower compartment off of the forward stateroom.
There is a sink in each head and the galley.
Used water from the forward shower, forward head
sink, and galley sink drains into a forward sump. Used
water from the aft shower and aft head sink drains into
an aft sump. Because the sumps are located below the
boat’s waterline, a pump is needed for each sump to
drain the sump and discharge its water overboard or
into an optional grey water holding tank. When the
forward and aft Auto Sump circuit breakers on the
Safety Breaker Panel are "ON", each sump pump oper-
ates automatically when water in the sump rises above
a predetermined level.
NOTE: The sump pumps can not operate if the forward
and aft Auto Sump circuit breakers are "OFF". Make
sure both circuit breakers are "ON" before using the
showers or sinks.
Transom Hand Shower
The optional transom or cockpit hand shower is a conve-
nient device that enables you and your guests to rinse
off with warm, fresh water after swimming without
having to enter the cabin. The hand shower is especially
useful if you operate your boat in salt water.
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

To obtain the most consistent
shower temperature, turn on the
cold water faucet fully, then
slowly turn on the hot water
faucet until the water flowing
from the shower head is at the
desired temperature. This
method keeps the pressure
water pump running, eliminating
widely fluctuating water tempera-
tures.
