The fresh water system consists of two (2) 72 gallon
(272.5 liter) water tanks, a 24 volt water pump with
two (2) water filters, one primary on the pump and
a secondary water system filter, water heater, and
hot and cold distribution manifold.
The fresh water system can be activated two ways.
One by the 24 volt water pump breaker on the salon
24/12VDC distribution panel. Or by the use of the
dockside inlet. Ship side operation requires the 24
volt water pump breaker to be ON to operate the
head, shower, ice maker, fresh water washdowns
or faucets. Dockside operation only requires that
dockside pressure be applied to the inlet regulator.
See dockside inlet below.

The two (2) 72 gallon (757 liter) water tanks are
located between the port and starboard inboard
stringers under the companionway steps in the
cabin. To check the water level in the tank, press
the water level switch on the 24/12VDC distribution
panel located in the port salon. The lights will indicate
the amount of water in the tank.
In the unlikely event it is necessary to access the
tank fittings, roll carpet and padding back from the
aft end of the companionway. Remove screws
which secure the floor.

The tanks are filled through a fill plate located on
the starboard deck walkway. The two tanks are
connected together requiring only one deck fill plate.
Fill the water tanks only from a source known to
provide safe, pure drinking water. To fill your water
tanks you should use a plastic hose. Do not use a
rubber hose; it can give the water a disagreeable
flavor.
The hose should be kept for filling use only. After
using the hose it should be emptied. Start at one
end and raise the hose to shoulder level and walk
to the opposite end of the hose, allowing the
remaining water to flow out. You should store your
water tank filling hose in a clean dry place. It is also
a good practice to cover the ends of the hose to
keep the inside clean.
