LARM
Your boat is equipped with a high bilge water alarm. Although some residual accumulation of
water in the bilge is normal, this alarm will alert you if water reaches a high level that could
impair operation of the boat or be damaging to equipment. It is activated by a float switch located
in the forward bilge. This float switch is separate from the bilge pump system and only activates
the high bilge water alarm. The alarm panel (pictured below) provides both audible and visual
alert signals. This panel is located inside the cabin above the vee berth light switch. When
activated, the red light on the switch will be on and a high pitched tone similar to that of an in
home smoke detector will sound. This is the recommended position to leave this switch. With the
audible alarm off, the red light will be the only indication of a high water situation.
Should the high bilge water alarm activate, immediately investigate to determine the source of
water entry. Also, confirm your bilge pumps are working properly. If the situation cannot be
quickly resolved, contact your dealer and remove the boat from the water. See
Bilge Water Alarm Diagram” on page 8–45
for wiring detail.

HOWER
To operate the cockpit showers, the water pressure switch located on the DC panel must be in
the “on” position. For the aft shower, open the cover and pull the shower wand from the recessed
deck fitting. Depress the button on the back of the wand to spray water. To reinstall the aft shower
wand into the recessed fitting, gently feed the hose down through the deck and replace the cover
on the fitting. For the forward shower, pull out the hose and depress the lever on the back of the
wand to spray water. For continuous or hands free operation, pull up on the lever until it reaches
the locked position. To reinstall the forward shower wand, gently feed the hose down through the
deckwing and replace the cover on the fitting. To supply the optional hot water to the cockpit
showers, make sure the hot water heater is on
(reference “Water Heater” on page 8–10)
, then
adjust the mixer knob located at the cockpit showers. The water pressure pump is located in the
port aft berth rigging area and may be accessed by removing the provided access panel. Reference
