FRESH WATER SYSTEM
7.1 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 on the water heater in the
engine compartment. The water tank is located

transom door. Shutoff valves in the cold and hot
