The switch for the washdown pump should be left in the off position if the washdown system is not going
to be used soon. The round filter attached to the side of the washdown pump should be removed and
cleaned often with running water.
Fresh Water System
Note: There must be fresh water in the fresh water tank in order for the pump to operate
properly. Operating the pump with an empty tank could cause serious damage to the
pump.
Fresh Water Pump
The fresh water pump is located on top of the port side stringer. It is accessible
by removing the compartment that houses the optional dual battery switches
and/or the tackle box that are installed behind the transom door. Depressing the
fresh water switch located on the switch panel to the forward position provides
power to the fresh water pump.
The fresh water system hose is located just outside the transom door, behind a
white cap/cover. Pull open the cap and pull out the faucet/shower nozzle and
hose. Press the button on the nozzle to ensure proper operation (water spraying).
When you are finished, stow away the transom fresh water hose and cover the outlet with the white
rubber cap. If the fresh water system is not in going to be in use, return to the switch panel and turn the
fresh water switch to the off position. When you close the faucet, the pump will run briefly. If the pump
continues to run with the faucet closed, check the system for leaks or have the pump tested.
Note: If you should hear a sucking sound, you may have a leak on the inlet side of the
fresh water tank. There are 2 hoses connected to the top of the tank. The larger
diameter hose is the water fill hose and the smaller diameter hose is the water vent hose.
Inspect the hoses for leaks and make certain that the hose connections are secure.
Fresh Water Tank and Fill
The 15-gallon capacity fresh water tank is installed
in the aft bilge and is accessible via the bilge
hatch. The tank can be filled via the stainless steel
fresh water tank fill located on the port gunwale at
the transom. Twist the cap to open the fitting. The
cap is connected to the fitting by a chain or cable
so that it will not fall into the water and/or get lost.
Use a garden hose to fill the fresh water tank
through this fitting.
The vent for the tank is installed on the transom
behind the aft folding seat.
Important: Fill the tank with potable water only. Refilling the tank often will help to keep it
a source of clean fresh drinking water. Never fill the fresh water tank with anything other
than fresh water.
