Maintenance
Maintenance of the fresh water system will require you to check the fittings and hoses to make sure
that there are no leaks. Before the winter season, the fresh water system must be completely drained
to avoid damage.

Your boat may come equipped with an optional 22L boiler, located in the starboard utility area in the
aft berth. To operate, make sure the FRESH WATER switch is in the ON position. Next, turn on the
WATER HEATER breaker located on the 230V main distribution panel.
The boiler’s thermostat comes pre - set from the factory at 70

temperature, refer to the boiler’s owners manual for explicit instructions.

Maintenance of the boiler will require you to check the fittings and hose connections regularly to
make sure that there are no leaks. The pressure relief valve must be activated regularly to make sure it
is not blocked. This must be done when the water in the boiler is cool. The system should be flushed
several times a year to prolong the life of the system.
Before the winter season, the boiler must be completely drained to avoid damage.
