of water. When finished showering, twist the shower nozzle
clockwise
to turn it off and return it to its retracted position. Reset the shower
control knob to the center and then turn OFF the switch.
Note that the hot water comes from the engine manifold, and the
cold water is brought on-board through the starboard rear ballast
tank’s fill pump. The hoses connect to a pump that is located inside the
engine compartment, aft of the engine and secured to the transom.
The shower wand/nozzle connects to that pump.
Leaving the shower running can result in extra water intruding
into the bilge compartment. This can cause issues that are addressed
in detail in the
Bilge information provided in this section of the Own -
er’s Manual. Please review that information prior to using the shower,
especially the first time.
Extended use of the shower can also result in excessive discharge
from the battery, which could leave the boat non-operational, and
could also potentially damage the bilge pump, rendering it non-op-
erational. If the bilge pump does not operate, excessive water in the
bilge system could sink the boat.
Showers should be as brief as possible. To have hot/warm water
available, the engine must run, but as noted in many sections of this Owner’s Manual, the engine has carbon
monoxide as a by-product of running the engine for any period of time. The exhaust gases are released from
the transom area, but even when released below the water line, those gases will work their way to the surface.
The danger of breathing carbon monoxide fumes is addressed throughout this Owner’s Manual, and should be
viewed with the utmost caution by everyone on-board.
Avoid running the boat’s engine if at all possible while anyone is on the
swim platform or sun pad. Exhaust fumes are emitted from beneath the swim
platform and the odorless, colorless carbon monoxide can sicken or kill
before individuals are aware there is danger. If water for the shower needs
to be heated, run the boat engine as briefly as possible, and shower quickly. NEVER shower for lengthy
periods of time as one might on-shore. Move away from the swim platform and/or sun pad as soon as the
shower is turned off and stowed, to allow time for the fumes to dissipate.
Even if people are not on the sun pad or swim platform to avoid CO fumes, do
not leave the shower running. Turn off as soon as possible. Leaving the shower
running can result in damage to the pump, which is not covered under warranty.
Excess water in the bilge system as a result could also swamp the boat, result-
ing in sinking, which could endanger the lives of all on-board.
Models: (Optional) Available as an option on all models.
Flush Kit
Prior to using the flush kit, clean water must be added from on-shore. Run a garden-type hose from the
clean-water source to inlet on the port side of the deck, outside the engine well storage compartment. Attach
securely, but do not over-tighten.
