The fresh water system is activated by the FRESH
WATER switch on the helm switch panel (Figure
7.2.1). The switch must be ON to operate the sink
faucet.
To begin initial operation:
1. Fill the water tank from a source known to
provide safe, pure drinking water by removing
the cap marked WATER located on the port hull
and inserting the water hose nozzle in the
opening. (Figure 7.2.2). Do not mistake the fuel
fill also on the port hull for the water tank fill cap.
2. Turn ON the WATER SYSTEM switch.
3. Open the sink faucet to allow any air trapped in
the water line to dissapate.
4. Shut off faucet as flow becomes fee of air.
Shutting off the faucet will cause the pump to
shut off. As long as the water system and battery
switches are on , the pump will automatically
provide water on demand.

If the fresh water system has not been used for some
time, or if you suspect that it has been contaminated,
then it should be sanitized. Your marine dealer may
have a water treatment additive that can be used to
sanitize the system. Follow the instructions provided
with the additive.
1. Pump the water tank empty. Shut OFF water
system switch.
2. Determine the capacity of your water tank (your
standard water tank holds 8 gallons). You will
need approximately one (1) gallon of weak
bleach solution for each fifteen (15) gallons of
tank capacity.
3. Prepare the proper amount of a weak bleach
solution by mixing 1/4 cup of unscented
household chlorine bleach per gallon of water.
4. Pour weak bleach solution into the water tank.
