FRESH WATER SYSTEM
5.1 General
The fresh water system consists of a potable water
tank, distribution lines and a distribution pump.
The pump is equipped with an automatic pressure
switch and is located near the water tank below
the engine compartment sole. The tank is filled
through a labeled deck plate located in the tran-
som area of the boat.
DO NOT FILL SYSTEM WITH ANYTHING OTHER
THAN WATER. SHOULD THE SYSTEM BECOME
CONTAMINATED WITH FUEL OR OTHER TOXIC
FLUIDS, COMPONENT REPLACEMENT MAY BE
NECESSARY.
WATER AND WASTE PUMPS ARE NOT
DESIGNED TO PUMP FUEL AND A FIRE OR
EXPLOSION COULD RESULT. DO NOT
CONFUSE FUEL FILL DECK PLATES WITH THE
WATER OR WASTE FILL DECK PLATES. THESE
PLATES ALSO ARE LABELED ACCORDINGLY.
IF GASOLINE OR DIESEL FUEL IS
ACCIDENTALLY PUMPED INTO THE WATER OR
WASTE TANK, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUMP IT
OUT YOURSELF. CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR
THE MONTEREY BOATS CUSTOMER SERVICE
DEPARTMENT FOR ASSISTANCE IN HAVING THE
FUEL PROFESSIONALLY REMOVED AND
COMPONENTS OF THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM
REPLACED AS NECESSARY.
5.2 Fresh Water System Operation
Fill the water supply tank slowly through the la-
beled deck plate near the port transom steps.
After filling the water tank, partially open all fau-
cets. The Water Pump breaker on the cabin DC
panel should be on. Allow the pump to run until
all of the air is purged from the system and a
steady stream of water is flowing from each out-
let. Next, turn off the faucets one by one. As
the pressure builds, the pump will automatically
shut off.
When properly primed and activated the water
system will operate much like the water system in
a home. An automatic pressure sensor keeps the
system pressurized. If the system has been re-
cently filled or has not been used for an extended
period, air bubbles may accumulate at the pump
and the system may have to be reprimed.
Whenever the boat is left unattended, the Water
Pump breaker should be placed in the “OFF” posi-
tion.
DO NOT ALLOW THE FRESH WATER PUMP TO
RUN DRY. THE FRESH WATER PUMP WORKS ON
DEMAND AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF
AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE TANK IS EMPTY.
THIS CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE PUMP.
ALWAYS TURN THE WATER PUMP BREAKER OFF
WHEN THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM IS NOT IN
USE.
