Plumbing Systems
5-2
The water system manifold provides a shutoff
valve for each fixture in the boat. The man -
ifold may be accessed by lifting the midship
mechanical space floor hatch. Each red (hot)
and blue (cold) line is a “home run” to the
fixture it is supplying. There are no fittings
between the manifold and the fixture to leak
or fail. Water is not run from one section of
the boat to another and then “teed off” to
multiple fixtures. Should a problem occur
with any plumbing fixture in the boat, shut off
the appropriate valve to isolate it while leav-
ing the remainder of the system operational.
Note that you should shut of both the hot and
cold valves.
Whenever the boat is left unattended, turn
the fresh water system switch OFF.
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 winterizing directions
in section 12, Seasonal Maintenance.
Sink and Shower Operation
To use the aft cockpit sink, head sink, or
shower, switch ON the FRESH WATER
switch at the helm. Some minor variations
in the water temperature and pressure may
occur as the pump cycles.
The sinks drain overboard. Water drains from
the shower to a sump pump system located in
the bilge below the cabin floor. An automatic
float switch in the shower sump controls the
pump. After showering, let the cold water flow
for a period of time to flush the drainage sys -
tem of soap residue. It is essential that the
shower drain strainer is cleaned regularly and
the sump is inspected periodically for accu-
mulated debris that needs to be removed.
Water Heater
The water heater is located in the midship
mechanical space. It is accessed through the
midship mechanical space hatch. The water
heater uses an AC element that is thermostat-
ically controlled at the heater and activated by
a circuit breaker located in the AC Main Dis-
tribution Panel (MDP). A high pressure relief
valve protects the system from excessive
pressure. Make sure all air is purged from
the water heater and lines before activating
the water heater breaker. Refer to the water
heater manual for additional information.
CAUTION
!
DO NOT turn on the water heater until
it is filled and primed; damage to the
heater will result.
Shore Water Connection
The shore water connection allows the direct
connection of the water system to a shore
side water supply. This provides the system
with a constant supply of fresh water and
minimizes the pressure pump operation.
The shore water inlet fitting is mounted in the
transom splashwell area, to starboard. To use
shore water, connect a hose from the dock-
side faucet to the shore water inlet fitting,
then turn on the dockside faucet. The pres-
sure pump will not run and the water in the
water tank of the boat will not be used. Note:
the water tank will not be filled by connecting
to shore water.
