DO NOT ALLOW THE FRESH WATER PUMP TO RUN DRY. THE FRESH
WATER PUMP WORKS ON DEMAND AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF AUTO-
MATICALLY WHEN THE TANK IS EMPTY. THIS CAN RESULT IN DAM-
AGE TO THE PUMP. ALWAYS TURN THE WATER PRESSURE BREAKER
OFF WHEN THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM IS NOT IN USE.
5.3 Water Heater
The water heater is accessed through a hatch located on the port side of the bridge deck forward
of the L-lounge. All heaters have a AC element that is thermostatically controlled at the heater and
activated by a circuit breaker located in the AC panel. A high pressure relief valve protects the
system from excessive pressure. Always make sure all air is purged from the water heater and lines
before activating the water heater breaker. Refer to the water heater owner’s manual for additional
information.
DO NOT SUPPLY CURRENT TO AN EMPTY WATER HEATER. DAMAGE
TO THE HEATER WILL RESULT. THE SYSTEM MUST BE FILLED AND
PRIMED BEFORE USING THE WATER HEATER.
5.4 Shore Water Connection (Optional)
The shore water connection allows the direct connection of the water system to a shore side water
supply. This provides the system with a constant supply of fresh water and minimizes the pressure
pump operation. A female inlet fitting is mounted in the cockpit. A pressure reducer is installed
in the system along with two check valves. One check valve keeps water from running out of the
shore water inlet fitting when the pressure pump operates. The second provides protection for the
pressure pump when the shore water is connected.
To use shore water, connect a hose from the shore water faucet to the shore water fitting on the boat.
Next, turn on the shore water. The pressure pump will not run and the water in the boat’s water
tank will not be used.
Note: The water tank will not be filled by connecting to shore water.
