8.3 FRESH WATER SYSTEM
Before storing your boat, the water system needs to be drained and winterized.
HOT WATER WILL CAUSE BURNS. DO NOT FOLLOW THESE PRO-
CEDURES UNTIL WATER IN THE WATER HEATER TANK IS COOL.

!
Do not operate the water heater without water in the water heater
tank. Failure to do so could damage the water heater.
To drain the fresh water system:
1. Switch OFF the WATER HEATER breaker on the AC Distribution Panel
under the starboard salon loveseat.
2. Open all fresh water faucets (hot and cold). Set combination faucets to
warm position. Leave the faucets open.
3. Switch ON the FRESH WATER PUMP 1 & 2 breakers on the DC Distribu-
tion Panel under the starboard salon loveseat.
4. Allow the water to run until the tank is empty. The tank is empty when all
faucets no longer produce a stream of water.
5. Switch OFF the FRESH WATER PUMP 1 & 2 breakers.
6. Remove the hoses from the input and output sides of the fresh water
pumps, and let the pumps and hoses drain into the bilge. See chapter 3

remove the water from the bottom of the pump housings and then turn
OFF the FRESH WATER PUMP 1 & 2 breakers.

ual for the draining procedure.
