J - 3 GREY WATER SYSTEM
The grey water system is optional on Vista® models.
The water from the galley sink, head sink and show er
will drain into a sump and is pumped into a grey water
holding tank respectively. The waste level indicator is
located in the head compartment. A pumpout fitting
labeled WASTE but designated for grey water is
provided on the deck. Refer to the draw ings at the
end of this section.
NOTICE
Certain geographical areas have restric tions
on grey water being pumped or drained
over board. Be sure to check all local, state
and feder al laws in the boating area.
J - 4 SHORE WATER CONNECTION
Shore water connection is standard on the 358 Vista
®
models. This feature allows the direct con nection of
a city or shoreside water supply to the boat’s water
system to provide a constant supply of fresh water
without the need to constant ly refill the water supply
tank. This mini mizes pressure pump operation thus
extend ing the life span of the pump.
Dockside shore water pressure can vary dramati cally.
Excess pressure could damage the boat’s water
system so the shore con nec tion also regu lates the
water pres sure to a maxi mum of 35 psi.
The shore water inlet/regulator fitting is located
outboard, on the starboard side of the transom above
the swim platform, inside the transom washdown
storage area. See Figures J3 and the draw ings at the
end of this section.
To use shore water, connect a hose from the shore
water faucet to the shore water fitting on the boat and
turn on the shore water. The water system of the boat
will then be pressurized by city water if the system
was previ ously primed.
The water pump should be turned off when using city
water. If the pump is OFF, the pump will not function
and the water in the storage tank of the boat will not
be utilized.

ers is covered in the engine and hot water heater
manu facturers’ manuals. Please refer to Section H
on Electrical Systems for addi tion al information.
D. Using The Shower
Turn on the faucets to de sired tempera ture, remove
the shower spout from its holder, move the diverter
lever on the shower head, and the shower is
operation al.
When using the shower, draw the shower enclosure
be fore using the shower. Dam age to the finish can
result if sur rounding walls and flooring are allowed to
become exces sively wet. Thor oughly dry these areas
after showering.
The water temper ature can vary during shower
use as the pressure pump cycles on and off.
For greatest consisten cy, turn the cold water
on full, then mix in hot water until the desired
temperature is ob tained.
A shower sump pump is incorporated into the drain
system of the shower. The shower drains into the
sump pump located forward of the aft cabin. The
water will then be pumped overboard. If a grey water
system is installed, the water will be pumped into the
grey water holding tank.
The sump pump includes an automatic bilge switch
and is protected by a circuit breaker at the AC/DC
cabin panel. The sump pump will automati cally start
as soon as the water in the sump reach es a level that
will cause the float on the switch to rise.
After showering, let the water flow for a period of time
to flush the pump of soap residue. Check the sump
for excess residue. When rinsed out, the pump will
automatically shut off.
If water flow from the shower head appears to be
restrict ed, it may be due to sediment accumulating at
the shower head. If necessary, remove the head and
clean the discharge holes with a fine wire.
Periodi cal ly check the sump pump screen for clogs
to prevent drainage problems from occurring in the
show er drain. Refer to the manufacturer’s literature
included in the owner’s packet.
