Compass
The compass is located at the helm station in direct view of the operator when navigating the
boat. Follow the compass instructions in your Owners Packet to make compensation adjustments.
Engine Flushing System
The onboard engine flushing system is used to clean the cooling water passages of your engines
using a garden hose and tap water. To operate this system, do the following steps:
1. Screw the garden hose adapter included in your owner’s manual packet onto a garden
hose that is connected to an external freshwater supply.
Note: The freshwater system on your boat is not a suitable water supply for the engine
flushing system; it will not supply enough water or pressure to properly flush the engines.
2. Next, locate the engine flush panel near the transom door and connect the garden hose to
one of the fittings on the panel. Each fitting is labeled with the corresponding engine.
3. With the engines off, turn on the water supply and let the water flush the passages.
Repeat this process until all engines have been flushed. Follow the engine manufacturer’s
recommendations for duration and frequency of flushing. The water supply does not need to be
turned off before disconnecting the garden hose from a fitting. When flushing the engines when
your boat is in water, tilt the engines up to achieve better results.
Freshwater System
The Freedom 375 comes with a pressurized freshwater system. The freshwater pump is
activated by the freshwater switch on the DC panel and supplies water from the 54 gallon (204.4 L)
water tank to the freshwater components on board. The freshwater pump can be accessed by
removing the storage shelf panel on the aft wall inside the starboard cabin. The water tank is located
aft, next to the transom.
C A U T I O N
The freshwater system is not a potable water source. Do not use the water from the freshwater
outlets on your boat for drinking purposes. The quality of the water is dependent upon the
cleanliness of the water tank and other components of the freshwater system. The label
pictured below can be found at all freshwater and raw water outlets on your boat. Contact your
dealer for replacement labels.
