WATER SYSTEM
Fresh Water Tank(s)
The FRESH WATER TANKS hold 271 gallons total and are located in the lazarette. Observe the water
level by removing a tank cap and viewing the water level. To refill the 3 tanks, remove the WATER CAPS
from the tanks located in the stern lazarette.
Just above the water tanks on the transom are two faucets which are hot and cold fresh water outlets. These
could be used to shower down after a swim. The other faucet is a cold water faucet which can be used as a
wash down for the anchor and chain.
Fresh Water Pressure Pump
The WATER PRESSURE PUMP is located on the port side of the engine room. Activate pump at the DC
panel by turning on the
F.W. PUMP
breaker. If the water pump continues to run, you are either out of
water or might have an air lock and need to bleed the system by opening up a faucet. If you run out of water
SHUT OFF YOUR HOT WATER HEATER on the AC panel. Serious damage can occur!
Water Filtration
The drinking and cooking water in the galley runs through a filtration system located on the port side in the
engine room directly below the galley. An extra filter if needed is located under the galley sink. Filtered
water is run through the cold side only. An indication that the filter needs to be changed is when while
running the cold water through the galley sink, the water runs slowly.
To change the filter first enter the engine room and on the port side next to the pressure tank, turn the ball
valve horizontal to the supply line to the water pump as show in the picture below.
