FRESH WATER SYSTEM
7.1 General
The fresh water system consists of a potable water
tank, distribution lines and a distribution pump.
The pump is equipped with an automatic pressure
switch and is located in the forward bilge near the
water Tank and water heater.
CAUTION
DO NOT FILL SYSTEM WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN WATER.
SHOULD THE SYSTEM BECOME CONTAMINATED WITH FUEL
OR OTHER TOXIC FLUIDS, COMPONENT REPLACEMENT
MAY BE NECESSARY.
WARNING
DO NOT CONFUSE FUEL FILL DECK PLATES WITH THE
WATER OR WASTE FILL DECK PLATES. THESE PLATES
ALSO ARE LABELED ACCORDINGLY. IF GASOLINE OR
DIESEL FUEL IS ACCIDENTALLY PUMPED INTO THE WATER
OR WASTE TANK, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUMP IT OUT
YOURSELF. WATER AND WASTE PUMPS ARE NOT DESIGNED
TO PUMP FUEL AND A FIRE OR EXPLOSION COULD RESULT.
CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR THE EVERGLADES CUSTOMER
SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR ASSISTANCE IN HAVING THE
FUEL PROFESSIONALLY REMOVED AND COMPONENTS OF
THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM REPLACED AS NECESSARY.
7.2 Fresh Water System Operation
Fill the water supply tank slowly through the labeled
deck plate located on the starboard gunnel. A key is
require to open the deck fill. After filling the water
tank, partially open all faucets. The Fresh Water
switch should be on. Allow the pump to run until all
of the air is purged from the system and a steady
stream of water is flowing from each outlet. Next,
turn off the faucets one by one. As water pressure
builds, the pump will automatically shut off.
When properly primed and activated, the system will
operate much like the water system in a home. An
automatic pressure sensor keeps the system pres-
surized. If the system has been recently filled or has
not been used for an extended period, air bubbles
may accumulate at the pump and the system may
have to be reprimed.
Whenever the boat is left unattended, the Fresh
Water switch should be off.
Chapter 7:
CAUTION
DO NOT ALLOW THE FRESH WATER PUMP TO RUN DRY. THE
FRESH WATER PUMP WORKS ON DEMAND AND WILL NOT
SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE TANK IS EMPTY.
THIS CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE PUMP. ALWAYS TURN
THE FRESH WATER SWITCH OFF WHEN THE FRESH WATER
SYSTEM IS NOT IN USE.
Rigging Station Sink (Optional)
The sink in the optional rigging station is supplied
by the fresh water system. A spray head/shower
on a retractable hose is mounted in a recess at
the rear of the sink.
