Fresh Water
The 144-gallon fresh water tank (underneath the salon along the centerline
of the bilge) is filled through a deck plate on the port side of vessel. Please
use care in filling the tank with only clean water and from a hose of known
quality / cleanliness. A green fresh water hose is located in the lazarette
under the rear cockpit.
The fresh water pump is controlled by a 12 V circuit breaker. It pressurizes
the entire water system and strives to maintain a constant pressure of 35-
45 psi.
A fresh water gauge is at the lower helm and is active
when the “Tank Monitor” circuit breaker is ON. Be
aware that while underway, this gauge will not give an
accurate reading.
The cold-water source that feeds the galley faucet is
fitted with a high capacity charcoal water filter. The
filter is changed prior to every cruising season. Try it,
we believe you’ll find the water quality is great.
Turn off the circuit breaker switch when you are not on
the boat so that if a leak develops, you won’t lose all
the fresh water
Use of Shower
The shower drains to a gray water holding tank built into the keel of the
vessel. The circuit breaker for the gray water tank is on the DC panel and is
normally left on. You can dump the gray water tank when in appropriate
waters by depressing the momentary toggle switch until the tank indicator
shows empty. The exit port is on the starboard side of the ship just forward
of the pilothouse door.
MUST DOs:
1.
We suggest that you empty the grey water tank daily after shower use,
whenever possible.
2.
After showering, please wipe up any water spills on wood areas around
shower.
3.
Hang wet towels so they are not left up against wood surfaces. (Moisture
turns wood black and encourages mildew.)
