Filling
1.
There are two deck plates, one on each side of the house. The deck
key is located in the cabinet in the wheelhouse.
Do not put water in
the diesel tank by mistake.
If this happens, stop immediately!
Report this to AYC, and change the engine supply/return tank at the
fuel manifold in the engine room
.
2.
Attach the small (12”) blue in-line filter to the hose. After turning on
the hose supplying domestic water from the pier, let the water run
through the hose (overboard) for a minute or two to wash any
contaminated water from the hose. Fill until water comes out the
vent on the hull just outside the deck fill. A completely empty tank
takes about 20 minutes to fill.
3.
Be sure to return the deck key to the cabinet in the wheelhouse.
Weight transfer
1.
Each water tank holds 200 gallons which amounts to almost 1,500
pounds per side. It is important to manage the level of Lioness by
burning fuel and drawing water to maintain an even distribution of
fluids.
2.
To switch the supply from one tank to another, just turn the supply
valve to the open/closed position for the respective tank. Open the
future supply before closing the valve to the tank not to be drawn
from. The locations of the supply valves for the respective tanks are
under the floor in the master stateroom.
