WARNING
CAUTION
FRESH WATER SYSTEM
5.1 General
The fresh water system consists of a potable water
tank, distribution lines and a distribution pump.
The pump is activated by the Accessory switch
in the helm switch panel and is equipped with an
automatic pressure switch. It is located in the
forward bilge, aft of the rear cabin bulkhead and
accessed by removing the panel at the bottom of
the bulkhead. The tank is filled through a labeled
deck plate in the gunnel.
The water system pressure pump is used to sup-
ply fresh water to the freshwater washdown in the
cockpit and the galley sink.
DO NOT FILL SYSTEM WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN WATER.
SHOULD THE SYSTEM BECOME CONTAMINATED WITH FUEL
OR OTHER TOXIC FLUIDS, COMPONENT REPLACEMENT MAY
BE NECESSARY.
DO NOT CONFUSE FUEL FILL DECK PLATE WITH THE WATER
OR WASTE FILL DECK PLATES. THESE PLATES ARE ALSO
LABELED ACCORDINGLY. IF GASOLINE OR DIESEL FUEL IS
ACCIDENTALLY PUMPED INTO THE WATER OR WASTE TANK, DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO PUMP IT OUT YOURSELF. WATER AND WASTE
PUMPS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO PUMP FUEL AND A FIRE OR
EXPLOSION COULD RESULT. CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR THE
SCOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR ASSISTANCE
IN HAVING THE FUEL PROFESSIONALLY REMOVED.
5.2 Fresh Water System Operation
Fill the water supply tank slowly through the
labeled deck plate. After filling the water tank,
activate the Accessory switch and partially open
the sink galley faucet. Allow the pump to run
until all of the air is purged from the system and
a steady stream of water is flowing from faucet
and turn it off. Then activate the valve on the
cockpit washdown hose until all air is purged and
turn it off. As the pressure builds, the pump will
automatically shut off.
When properly primed and activated, the water
system will operate much like the water system in
a home. An automatic pressure sensor keeps the
system pressurized. If the system has been re-
cently filled or has not been used for an extended
period, air bubbles may accumulate at the pump
and the system may have to be re-primed.
