Plumbing System
5.1 Fresh Water System
General
The fresh water system consists of a potable
water tank, distribution lines and a distribu-
tion pump. The pump is equipped with an
automatic pressure switch and is located in
the forward storage compartment. An in-line
strainer located near the pump protects the
system from debris. The tank is filled
through a labeled deck fill located on the
starboard side of the swim platform.
DO NOT confuse other deck fill with fresh
water fill. If toxic fluids or fuel is added to
fresh water tank, the system will be contami-
nated. DO NOT attempt to pump fuel out;
this system is not designed to pump fuel.
Fuel must be removed by qualified person-
nel only. Fuel in the fresh water systems will
also require replacement of that system and/
or many components.
Operation
Fill the water supply tank slowly through the
FRESH WATER FILL deck plate. After filling
tank, partially open all faucets. Turn on
“Fresh Water System” switch at the helm.
Allow the pump to run until all of the air is
purged from the system and a steady stream
of water is flowing from each outlet. Next,
turn off the faucets one by one. As the pres-
sure builds, the pump will automatically shut
off.
When properly primed and activated, the
water system will operate like the water sys-
tem in a home. An automatic pressure sen-
sor keeps the system pressurized. If the
system has been recently filled or has not
been used for an extended period, air may
accumulate at the pump and the system
may have to be re-primed. Whenever the
boat is left unattended, turn the fresh water
system switch "OFF."
5.2 Raw Water Washdown
The raw water washdown system pump is
supplied by hoses connected to a ball valve
and a thru-hull fitting located in the bilge,
accessed under the aft seat.
Operation
Make sure the ball valve is open before
attempting to operate the raw water wash-
down system. The pump is activated by the
washdown switch located on the helm.
When activated, the pressure switch will
automatically control the pump. As pressure
builds in the washdown hose, the pump will
shut off. When the washdown hose is in use
and the pressure drops, the pump will turn
on. Turn the switch off when the washdown
is not in use. The raw water washdown is
equipped with a sea strainer on the intake
side of the pump, located in the aft bilge;
check it frequently and clean as necessary.

DANGER
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Fuel and their vapors are highly explo-
sive when exposed to open flame or
spark, resulting in death or serious
injury. Do not confuse deck fills.
!
CAUTION
DO NOT allow the fresh water pump to
run dry; damage to the pump can
occur. The fresh water pump works on
demand and WILL NOT shut off when
the tank is empty. Turn the water
pump switch "OFF" when the system
is not in use. Operating any pump
from a low-charged battery can lead to
a pump failure. Keep the batteries
properly charged. The fresh water
system must be properly winterized
prior to winter lay-up. Refer to Winter-
izing.
