Fresh Water Washdowns
The optional bow and transom fresh water washdowns
enable you to use water from the fresh water tanks 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 washdowns:
1. Locate the bow- and transom-mounted hose fit-
tings. The bow-mounted fitting is located inside the
starboard bow rope locker. The transom-mounted
fitting is located on the port side of the stairs that
lead from the boarding platform to the aft deck.
2. Attach one end of an appropriately sized nylon
water hose to the hose fitting you wish to use.
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 faucet 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 bow and transom raw water washdowns
enable you to use seawater to washdown and clean your
boat.
To use the raw water washdowns:
1. Locate the bow- and transom-mounted hose fit-
tings. The bow-mounted fitting is located inside the
starboard bow rope locker. The transom-mounted
fitting is located on the port side of the stairs that
lead from the boarding platform to the aft deck.
