WATER HEATER
The water heater is located behind the panel on the port side of the aft berth. All heaters have an 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.
SHORE WATER CONNECTION
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.
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. The water tank will not be filled by connecting to shore water.
DO NOT MODIFY OR CHANGE THE SHORE WATER INLET CONNECTOR WITH AN-
OTHER TYPE WITHOUT CONSULTING PURSUIT CUSTOMER RELATIONS OR YOUR
DEALER. THE USE OF THE WRONG TYPE OF INLET CONNECTOR CAN DAMAGE THE
FRESH WATER SYSTEM.
SHOWER OPERATION
The head sink faucet is also the shower spray head. To use as a shower, make sure the “Fresh Water System”
switch on the cabin switch panel is on, then lift the spray head off the sink or out of the locker (cockpit shower)
and turn the water on. Adjust the hot and cold water faucet until the desired temperature is obtained. Some
minor variations in the water temperature may occur as the pressure pump cycles.
Shower water is drained from the head compartment by a sump pump system connected to the shower drain.
An automatic float switch in the shower sump controls the pump. The pump is protected by the shower sump
circuit breaker. After showering, let the cold water flow for a period of time to flush the drainage system of
soap residue.
The shower sump system is located behind the cabin step under the cockpit floor. It is essential that the shower
drain strainer is cleaned regularly and the sump is inspected periodically for accumulated debris that needs
to be removed.
