Your yacht features a pressure-demand
(potable) freshwater system.
•
The water tank fill fitting is located on
the port side deck. The city water inlet
is located on the port side of the aft
cockpit.
•
When not connected to a dockside
water supply, the water pump’s DC
breaker must be turned on to use
freshwater.
•
The water pump’s DC breaker should
be turned off when any of the follow-
ing occurs:
3
When your yacht is not in use.
3
Whenever the water tank is empty.
3
When connected to a dockside
water supply.
•
The water filter should be inspected
and cleaned often.
•
When your yacht is to be left unattended for long periods of time, pump the water tanks dry to prevent stored water
from becoming stagnant and distasteful. Should it become necessary to disinfect the freshwater system, ask your
dealer about treatments available for your yacht’s system.
•
The water tank, located under the v-berth mattress, is equipped with a water level indicator (located on the AC
panel). The indicator may not be 100% accurate, so it is recommended that the water tank be topped off at every
opportunity to avoid the possibility of running short of freshwater.
•
A pressure accumulator tank is installed in the freshwater system. The pressure accumulator tank assists the pres-
sure pump by reducing ON/OFF cycling and distributing an even flow of water.
Water Heater
•
Your yacht is equipped with a water heater, located in the utility room (see illustration on previous page). Access to
the water heater is through the inboard vinyl wall panel of the aft berth.
•
The water heater is connected to the AC power system, therefore, you must verify that the water heater breaker on
the AC panel is turned on before water will be heated.
•
There is a heat exchanger system connected to the port engine. All hoses related to this system should be checked
frequently for proper condition and leakage.
•
Be sure to read the manufacturer’s instruction manual supplied in your yacht’s owner’s packet and observe the
following warnings about your water heater:

WARN I NG!
!
•
DO NOT energize the AC water heater electrical circuit until the heater is completely filled
with water. Even momentary operation in a dry tank will damage the heating elements.
Warranty replacements will not be made on elements or tank damaged in this manner. The
tank is full if water flows from the tap when the hot water is turned on in the galley.
•
Water heaters should be drained (power turned OFF) when the possibility of freezing
exists.
