Fresh water heater. Blue Pipes
are cold fresh water, red pipes
are hot fresh water.
The Shur-flo pump is just right of the water
heater.

4K1: Fresh Water Fill Location
There is one water tank. The fill for it is on the foredeck
just starboard and aft of the anchor windlass.. Stop filling as
soon as you hear the water coming up the tank standpipe.
You can check the water level with the gauge on the face
of the console in the pilothouse; turn it “On” and set switch to “1".
Be sure to use the "water" fill to port.
A prefilter is stowed in the Portugeuese bridge to allow
filtering of the water as you take it aboard when using non-city
water sources.
4K2: Fresh Water Heater
After the water pump, water is distributed directly to the cold
water faucet lines. In addition, it goes to the boat's water heater in the
forward starboard side of the engine room. The heater uses three
energy sources, (1) heat from the engine, so that whenever the boat is
running, or has recently run, there is hot water; (2) 110 volts AC from
shore power or generator, if available and the heaters' 110-volt AC
breaker is "on"; (3) Heat from the Everhot unit connected to the
Webasto Diesel Furnace. The Everhot is valved into the system by the
yellow handle above the hot water heater: If the valve points outboard toward the electric
heater, that is the hot water source; if it points aft, the source is the “Everhot” system heated
by the Diesel Furnace.
4K3: Fresh Water Pump
The water line from the tank leads to the boat's fresh water
pump located in the engine room to port aft of the engine.
Provided the "F.W. Pump" circuit breaker (top switch, right-hand
row) is "On", the pump will run whenever its built-in pressure
switch detects low water pressure.
It is a good idea to turn off the fresh water
pump breaker whenever leaving the boat
for any extended period, lest a dripping
faucet or broken hose cause the pump to
run and waste your precious drinking
water.
