Remember that the fresh water washdown system draws its water from the
boat’s fresh water tanks. Prolonged use of the washdown system quickly
reduces the amount of fresh water in the water tanks.
To use the fresh water washdowns:
1. Locate the bow- and transom-mounted hose fittings. The bow-
mounted fitting is located in the port bow locker. The transom-
mounted fitting is located in the starboard transom locker.
2. Attach one end of an appropriately sized garden hose to the hose
fitting you wish to use.
3. Attach a nozzle to the other end of the hose. The best type of nozzle
to use is the “pistol grip” type that can be opened and closed by
squeezing your hand.
4. Open the faucet at the base of the hose fitting to supply water to the
hose. Use the washdown as you would a garden hose at your home.

plate labeled “WATER.”
When you connect your boat to shore water, switch the Pressure Pump
circuit breaker on the DC Control Center “OFF.”
