Fresh Water System
Perform these routine maintenance proce-
dures to maintain your fresh water system:
• Remove filter screens from faucet spouts
and eliminate any accumulation of
debris. A debris build-up can cause the
pump to cycle excessively.
• Check and clean the fresh water system
strainer located on the intake line near
the pump at least annually.
• When necessary, remove the lid on the
shower sump assembly located under
the cabin floor aft of the stairs, clean
debris from the sump and flush with
clean water, activate the float switch to
test the pump and spray the pumps and
metal components with a metal protector
periodically.
• Add a commercially available potable
water conditioner to the water tank to
keep it fresh.
• Make sure the fresh water system switch
is "OFF" when leaving the boat unat-
tended or when not in use.
Raw Water System
Perform these routine maintenance proce-
dures to maintain your raw water system:
• Check hoses for signs of deterioration,
especially the sea water hoses.
• Remove and clean livewell, air condi-
tioner and washdown pump sea water
strainers, as needed. Spray pumps and
thru-hull valves with a metal protector
periodically.
• Drain and clean the fishboxes and
livewells after each use.
• Operate all thru-hull valves at least once
a month to keep them operating prop-
erly.
If a hose ruptures or leaks, turn off pump
immediately. Keep the thru-hull valve closed
when performing service on a sea water sys-
tem.
The fresh and raw water systems must be
winterized properly before storage. Refer to
Winterizing.
!
CAUTION
Turn the fresh water system switch
"OFF" when leaving the boat unat-
tended or when the fresh water sys-
tem is not in use.
NOTICE
Maintain a proper charge on the bat-
teries, operating the pressure pump
from a battery with a low charge could
lead to pump failure.
!
CAUTION
If the raw water inlet hose ruptures,
turn pump off immediately. Close the
thru-hull valve. If this condition is not
quickly remedied severe damage and
loss of life could occur.
NOTICE
Maintain a proper charge on the bat-
teries; operating the pressure pump
from a battery with a low charge could
lead to pump failure.
