Fresh Water System
CAUTION
DO NOT ALLOW THE FRESH WATER PUMP TO RUN DRY. THE
FRESH WATER PUMP WORKS ON DEMAND AND WILL NOT
SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE TANK IS EMPTY. THIS
CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE PUMP. ALWAYS TURN THE
FRESH WATER SWITCH OFF WHEN THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM
IS NOT IN USE.
Fresh Water Washdown Hose Connection
The cockpit fresh water washdown hose connec-
tion is located on the port side of the cockpit and
uses a standard garden hose connection. It is
equipped with a valve that allows the flow of wa
-
ter to be turned on or off at the hose connection.
Make sure the Fresh Water switch in the helm
switch panel is on before using the washdown
hose and that the washdown faucet valve or hose
spray nozzles are off when the fresh water system
is activated.
5.3 Fresh Water System Maintenance
Information supplied with water system compo-
nents by the equipment manufacturers is included
with this manual. Refer to this information for
additional operation and service data.
Routine Maintenance
The following items should be done routinely
to maintain your fresh water system:
• Remove the filter screens from the faucet
spouts and eliminate any accumulation of
debris. A build up of debris can cause the
pump to cycle excessively.
• Periodically spray the pump and metal
components with a metal protectant.
• The batteries must be properly maintained and
charged. Operating the pressure pump from a
battery with a low charge could lead to pump
failure.
• Add a commercially available potable water
conditioner to the water tank to keep it fresh.

Sanitizing the Fresh Water Tank
The fresh water system should be sanitized if it has
not been used for a long period or you are unsure
of the quality of the water in the system.
The following steps can be used to sanitize
the system:
• Activate the system, open all faucets and pump
out as much water as you can.
• Make a chlorine solution by mixing two ounces
of household chlorine bleach in a gallon of
water. This mixture will treat approximately
fifteen gallons. If the water tank on your
boat is larger or smaller than 15 gallons, then
adjust the mixture accordingly. Always mix
the chlorine with water in a separate container
first and never add straight chlorine to the
fresh water tank.
• Fill the water tank half full with fresh water and
pour the mixture into the water tank. Top off
the tank.
• Activate the system and allow the water to run
for about one minute at each faucet. Let the
treated water stand for 4-6 hours.
• Drain the system by pumping it dry and flush
with several tank fulls of fresh water.
