Fresh Water System

CAUTION

CAUTION

DO NOT SUPPLY CURRENT TO AN EMPTY WATER HEATER.  

DAMAGE TO THE HEATER WILL RESULT.  THE SYSTEM MUST 

BE FILLED AND PRIMED BEFORE USING THE WATER HEATER.

7.4  Shore Water Connection

The shore water connection allows the direct 

connection of the boat water system to a shore 

side water supply.  This provides the system with 

a constant supply of fresh water and minimizes 

the pressure pump operation.  A female inlet fit-

ting is mounted on the side of the deck near the 

shore power inlet.  A pressure reducer is installed 

in the system along with two check valves.  One 

check valve keeps water from running out of the 

shore water inlet fitting when the pressure pump 

operates.  The second provides protection for the 

pressure pump when high pressure city water is 

connected. 

To use shore water, connect a hose from the shore 

side water faucet to the shore water inlet fitting 

on the boat.  Next, turn on the shore water.  The 

pressure pump will not run and the water in the 

boat’s water tank will not be used.

Notice: 

The water tank will not be filled by connect-

ing to shore water.

DO NOT MODIFY OR CHANGE THE SHORE WATER INLET 

CONNECTOR WITH ANOTHER TYPE WITHOUT CONSULTING 

EVERGLADES CUSTOMER SERVICE OR YOUR DEALER.  

THE USE OF THE WRONG TYPE OF INLET CONNECTOR CAN 

DAMAGE THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM.
