FRESH WATER SYSTEM
Before connecting to any water fitting,
dockside or otherwise, make sure the
water is potable and suitable for human
consumption. A special sanitary drinking
water hose is required for potable water
connection. Do not use common garden
hose for drinking water.
The fresh water system provides potable
(drinkable) water to the sinks, showers, hot water
heater and transom shower if the boat is so
equipped. Refer to
Specifications , in Section 3 ,
for the fresh water tank capacity for your model.
The onboard fresh water system is operated by a
12 VDC water pump. To use the vessel’s onboard
water supply, the 12 VDC system must be
activated and the WATER PUMP switch turned
ON. Depending on the boat model, the fresh
water pump “switch” may be a re-settable circuit
breaker.
The water pump works on demand. It will not
automatically shut off when the fresh water tank is
empty. Monitor the level of water in the tank. If the
water pump is allowed to run continuously, it may
overheat.
Transom Shower
—The optional transom wash-
down shower is located at the stern of the boat.
The shower model will vary depending on the
boat model. The 12 VDC WATER PUMP circuit
breaker switch must be ON for the unit to function.
Fresh Water Dockside Hookup
Monitor the fresh water dockside hookup
during the initial use. The boat is
connected to an unlimited supply of water.
Do not leave the boat unattended while
using this feature. Any major leak or break
in the system will allow continuous water
flow into the boat causing severe damage.
A fresh water dockside hookup is available in
some models, which allows usage of city water
while docked. Refer to
Specifications
, in
Section
3
, for location.
Water supplied through this hookup will not
replenish the fresh water supply in the on-board
tank. Consequently, the tank can only be filled at
the fresh water fill plate.
