Using the Fresh Water System
The water tank fill deck plate may be located in the general vicinity
of the fuel fill deck plate. DO NOT put fuel in the water tank or water
in the fuel tank.
Always keep the fresh water tank full. A full water tank helps keep the water potable. To fill the water
tank:
1. Ensure the water supply is suitable for drinking. If filling from the dock check with the dockmaster to verify the
water is potable.
2. Remove the filler cap and fill the tank until water flows from the vent.
3. Secure the filler cap.
You will need to start the system whenever the tank is empty and air is in the supply lines. To start/use the
fresh water system:
1. Sanitize the system as previously described.
2. Fill the water tank with potable water.
3. Energize the pressure pump.
– The boat must have electrical power to energize the pressure pump. This can be the batteries, or if so
equipped, an external power source.
– Turn on the water pressure switch on the salon circuit breaker panel.
4. Starting with the cold water faucet furthest from the pump, open each faucet until you see a steady stream of
water from each faucet. Close the faucets.
5. Open the faucet(s) and run until you see a steady stream of water from each faucet. Close the faucets.
6. Refill the water tank and turn off the pressure pump.
