Water Tank Capacities
The materials from which the components of the water
system are made may give the water supply a peculiar
taste, especially when new. This condition is normal and
can be reduced somewhat through the use of a water
filter; such as that produced by Ametek, Inc. Also, chemi-
cals such as Sudbury’s Aqua-Fresh and Pettibone’s
Aquabon are effective. The taste will completely dissi-
pate in time.
G - 2 DISINFECTING THE WATER SYSTEM
The fresh (potable) water system should be dis-
infected prior to initial use.
The water system should be disinfected before first use
and at the beginning of each season. The following in-
formation is a general guide to disinfecting the fresh wa-
ter system.
1. Flush the boat’s water system thoroughly with fresh
water. Make sure all anti-freeze is removed from
the system.
2. The water system should be drained completely.
3. To disinfect the water system, use one gallon of wa-
ter and 1/4 cup of Clorox or Purex household bleach
(5% sodium hypochlorite solution). This is recom-
mended for each 15 gallons of tank capacity.
4. Allow to stand for three (3) hours. If time is a factor,
greater concentrations of chlorine solution will be
needed to disinfect the water system.

G - 1 GENERAL
Some Four Winns models are equipped with a fresh wa-
ter supply system. This system consists of a water sup-
ply tank, water distribution lines and a distribution pump.
Refer to Figure G7 at the end of this section for general
water system diagram. The water fill deck plate for the
fresh water system is located on the deck. Always fill
the tank slowly.
The approximate location of the water fill for each model
is listed below.
Water Fill Locations
The water deck plate is appropriately labeled.
DO NOT fill the system with anything other than
water. Should the system become contaminated
with fuel or other toxic solution, component re-
placement may be necessary.
The water tank is equipped with an overboard vent. Main-
tain a close visual watch on the overboard vent while
filling the water tank. Always fill the tank slowly. When
the tank is almost full, water will spurt out of the vent.
NOTICE
When filling the tank, never seal the hose to the
deck plate. The tank would become pressur-
ized and could rupture.
The following is the capacity and location of water sup-
ply tanks.
NOTICE
DO NOT overfill the water tank. Tank damage
may result. Water capacity and tank location may
vary due to other equipment that may be instal-
led on the boat.
