Fresh Water System
Fresh Water Supply
Fresh water is stored in a 9 gallon tank located under the deck, directly forward of the fuel tank. Access to the tank is achieved by removing the center
floor board. The tank features a fill line, vent line and supply line. These fittings should be checked annually. It is critical that only potable water be
used in the tank. Failure to do so may require overhaul of the entire freshwater system.
Fresh Water Fill and Vent
The fresh water tank is filled from a fill deck plate marked “WATER”. It is located on the starboard side, adjacent to the helm. Before filling the tank,
verify the quality of the water and make sure area around the fill is free of containments that could enter the tank. While filling, verify the tank is venting
through the tank vent which is located on the starboard side of the hull. The vent will be directly aft and adjacent to the fuel tank vent. An absence of air
escaping from the vent may indicate a blockage or kink in the vent line. This will result in the tank failing to fill all the way which will show in water
flowing out of the fill well before coming out of the vent. It will also diminish the performance of the fresh water system as a blocked vent will create a
vacuum in the tank as water is used, thereby resulting in less water to the pump, continuous cycling of the pump and loss of water pressure. This could
ultimately result in damage to the pump. Check the vent line periodically to ensure there are no kinks or blocks.
Washdown Pump
The fresh water washdown system is fed by a pump that is located in the aft end of the starboard transom locker. The pump is controlled by a switch
and circuit breaker (See Electrical Schematics). Water is supplied to the pump from the tank outlet located on the bottom of the tank. The fresh water
pump features an in-line strainer for collecting any debris that could damage the pump. The strainer should be checked periodically and features a clear
cap for easy inspection. If any debris is found, remove the strainer screen by untwisting the clear cap and clean the screen. The pump features a built in
pressure regulator that will shut the pump off when pressure is achieved in the system. The fresh water washdown faucet is located on the port side
under the gunwale cap, just forward of the console. If the system has not been used for a period of time, it may be necessary to prime/bleed the system
of any air. Before activating the pump, open the fresh water washdown faucet and then switch on the pump. When the system is free of air, you can
either close the faucet or shut off the pump. It is important to check the washdown pump annually and periodically spray it with a corrosion inhibitor.
System Operation and Maintenance
Only use potable fresh water in the system. Always verify there is sufficient quantity of water in the tank before activating either the washdown or
mister system. Insufficient water quantity will cause the pumps to run dry and may lead to failure/damage. Before using the freshwater system for the
first time on the water, fill the tank and cycle all the water out to ensure the tank is clean and free of contaminants. Afterwards check strainer(s) for
debris and clean if necessary.
