WATER SYSTEM OPERATION
Fill fresh water tank at deck fill. The tank
filler cap will be marked
“
water
”
. When
tank is full, water will back up through the
vent hose and exit through a vent located
on the side of the hull. Use tank gauge for
filling. D.C. main should be turned on first.
To activate the water system, turn on D.C.
main, flip the
“
water pressure
”
switch on
the electrical panel. This will start the
pump and pressurize the system. When
the pressure builds, the pump will shut off.
With continued use of fresh water the
pressure in the system is reduced, auto-
matically restarting the pump. Make sure
there is water in the system while pump is
in operation to prevent damage to the mo-
tor. The pump will also run if a leak devel-
ops in the system.
NOTE: Intermittent operation of the fresh-
water pump while all faucets are closed
usually indicates a leak somewhere in the
lines. Trace the lines to locate the leak
and repair.
Run pump only as long as necessary to
remove water. Dry running can damage
the pump motor
The water heater operates either on 120
or 240 volts AC or when the engine is
running. To obtain hot water from the en-
gine, it must run a minimum of one-half
hour.
Pressure water pumps are the demand
type. Once the circuit breaker switch is on,
opening the faucet will produce water flow.
To operate shower, turn on hot and cold
faucets until desired temperature is
reached, while the showerhead is re-
tracted at sink. Pull the showerhead out
and use. The faucets must be turned off to
prevent system drainage.
Opening the faucet will allow the pump to
empty the tank. Flushing the tank and
lines will be necessary for winterization.
Refer to Maintenance & Winterization sec-
tion for more information.
SINKING HAZARD
–
To ensure the safety
of your vessel, always disconnect shore
water and power connections when leav-
ing your boat unattended.
WASTE DISCHARGE
The Hunter is equipped with a head
waste holding tank, hose lines, and thur-
fittings for either overboard discharge,
using the standard equipped hand
pump, deck pump out at dockside or
Macerator Pump. Tank levels will be in-
dicated on the gauge located below the main electrical panel. Familiarize your-
self with the locations of the deck pump
out, overboard discharge thur-hull, and
vent locations pictured in the Waste Wa-
ter System section, as well as your local
boating regulations concerning the
overboard discharge of raw sewage.
