Fresh Water System
Fresh Water Stations
The 29 Grand Sport is outfitted with the following 3 fresh water stations:
Head sink
Bait station
Transom sink
Fresh Water Pump
The fresh water pump is mounted aft of the fresh water tank in the floor storage
compartment in the casting deck area of the bow. Depressing the fresh water
switch located on the switch panel to the forward position provides power to the
fresh water pump.
Go to any one of the 3 fresh water stations and turn on the water to ensure that
the water is flowing properly.
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 may 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 mounted in the floor
storage compartment located in the casting deck area at the bow.
The tank can be filled via the stainless steel fresh water tank fill
located on the port gunwale, adjacent to the head door. 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.
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.
Note: There must be fresh water in the fresh water tank in order for the fresh water pump to
operate. Operating the pump with an empty tank could cause serious damage to the pump.

WHAT IS THE LAW?
Congress enacted the Clean Water Act of 1972 (amended in 1987). This law addresses
a wide spectrum of water pollution problems, including marine sewage from boats in navigable U.S. waters
including coastal waters up to three miles offshore. The law further provides for "no discharge" by boats operated
