WATER SYSTEMS
Some boat models may be equipped with two or more water systems; a
fresh water system, a raw water system, and a head and waste containment
system.
The fresh water system provides potable (drinkable) water to items such as
sinks, showers, hot water heater, ice makers, or cockpit washdowns.
The raw water system provides outside (that which the boat is on) water to
items such as cockpit washdowns, heads (marine toilets), and engines.
The head and waste containment system provides outside (raw) water to
the head.
Fresh Water System
Two types of fresh water systems are common; a manual system and a
pressurized system. Manual systems consist of a storage tank and a hand
pump/faucet.
Pressurized systems can range from the simple type consisting of a storage
tank, electric pump and faucet, to the complex type consisting of a storage
tank, filter, electric pump, accumulator, city water hookup, water heater, and
any one of a number of showers, sinks, or other items which require potable
water.
Notice
All fresh water drainage is directed overboard.
Fresh Water Tank
The boat is fitted with a fresh water tank that is filled through the deck plate
filler marked “WATER.” The tank is vented through the hull, this allows air to
enter/escape as water levels rise and fall. The water tank is full when water
comes out of the vent.
