the system, the pressure in the system decreases.
When the pressure decreases to a predetermined
point, the pump automatically turns on and in-
creases the pressure. This ensures a steady flow of
water any time you use the raw water washdown.
Your boat has an optional 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 your
onboard water tank. The shore water fitting is located
on the port side of the stairs that lead from the boarding
platform to the aft deck.
NOTE: Connecting your boat to shore water bypasses
the boat's fresh water tanks and pressure water pump,
therefore the water tanks do not get filled. The only way
to fill the fresh water tanks is through the deck plate
labeled WATER.
To connect to shore water:
1. Locate the shore water fitting, labeled SHORE
WATER, in the transom’s lower starboard corner.
Refer to the "Deck Plates" portion of Section 9 for
the location of this plate.
2. Attach one end of a water 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. Switch the forward and aft Auto Sump circuit
breakers on the Safety Breaker Panel "ON".
6. Turn ON the dockside water tap.
Do not leave your boat unattended when it is con-
nected 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
