SYSTEM OPERATIONS-35
FRESH WATER SYSTEM
The purpose of the Fresh Water System
is to provide a supply of pressurized po-
table hot and cold water to the appliances
on demand and as needed.
WATER SOURCE
Your 34C has two (2) separate sources
that supply cold water to your system:
• Fresh Water Pump System
• Dockside Water Supply System
Fresh Water Pump System:
The Fresh Water Pump System on your
34C would be the water source that sup-
plies water when underway. The water
source is Water Tanks and a water pump.
Fresh Water Tanks (94 gallon capacity):
The fresh water tanks are located under
the cockpit of your
34C . There are 2 tanks
(47 gallons each). The photo below shows
the starboard fresh water tank.
The Mechanical Schematic in the SCHE-
MATICS SECTION of this manual shows
the location of the fresh water tanks. They
are
fi lled through a fi ll fi tting that is marked
“WATER” on the fi ll cap, which is located
on the port side of the deck.
The photo below shows the water fi ll.
The Deck Layout in the Schematics Sec-

of the Fresh Water Fill.
Fill the fresh water tank ONLY with
potable water that is safe for drinking.
DO NOT
fi ll with water that may be of
questionable quality as serious illness
or death may occur.
Fresh Water Pump:
The fresh water pump is located on the
forward bulkhead of the area under the
cockpit. The fresh water pump operates
on DC electrical power controlled by a
breaker switch located on the AC/DC
Electrical Panel. The fresh water pump
is equipped with an automatic pressure
switch and when it is supplied with electri-
cal power, it will operate until the entire
fresh water system is pressurized to a
preset level. Once the required pressure is
obtained, the fresh water pump will auto-
matically shut off. The fresh water system
should maintain the preset level of water
pressure until one of the faucet or shower
valves is opened. When the required pres-
sure is lowered below the preset level, the
