HOT WATER SYSTEM
Your 45C is equipped with a 10.5 or
optional 20.0 gallon water heater, which
is operated on the A/C electrical system.
The Fresh Water Pump and the dockside
supply feed cold water to the water heater,
which is then heated for distribution when
desired. Similar to the water heater in your
home, there is always a continuous supply
of water to maintain a full tank at all times.
The water heater in your
45C is a “high
recovery” model, meaning the cold water
entering the tank is heated very quickly to
replace the hot water as it is used.
Operation of the water heater is as fol-
lows:
Be certain the water heater is full of wa-
ter. You can easily check this by turning
ON a hot water faucet. If water
fl ows from
the faucet, the water heater is full.
If the water heater is not full of water,
damage to the heating elements may
result when electrical power is turned
ON to the unit.
Turn ON the water heater breaker
switch, which is located on the AC elec-
trical panel. The Electrical pages in this
section of this manual explain the location
of this switch.
NOTE: The water heater will operate on
AC electrical current only. You must either
plug in your shore power cord or oper-
ate your generator for the water heater to
function.
Allow suf fi cient time for the water heater
to heat its contained water before using
(approximately 1/2 hour).
