Transom Washdown; Heads; Enclosed Heads; Porta Potti - Four winns FREEDOM Owner's Manual

C. Transom Washdown
The transom washdown is available on certain models.
The washdown unit is typically located on the starboard
side of the transom. The water supply system can be
used for showering or washdown purposes at the tran-
som. The switch to operate the water pump is located
on the refreshment center or starboard helm and is
marked FRESH WATER. See Figure J4.
Figure J4: Transom Shower
The fresh water tank which supplies water to the tran-
som washdown is usually located in the rear engine com-
partment on the port side of the boat. Other specific
models have the fresh water tank located on the star-
board side. The fresh water fill deck plate is usually
located on the same side as the tank. The fresh water
deck fills are clearly mark "WATER".
A separate toggle switch to operate the pump is located
at the helm or refreshment center and is wired directly to
the battery. An in-line fuse is included to protect the wa-
ter pump. The pump is located in the rear engine com-
partment usually near the vicinity of the fresh water tank.
Models equipped with the transom washdown option will
use the same fresh water pump used for the cockpit
sink. With the "FRESH WATER" switch "ON", push the
spray nozzle button to purge any air that may be in the
system. When a steady flow of water is coming from the
washdown nozzle the air has been purged. Release the
spray nozzle when finished. As the pressure builds, the
pump will automatically shut off at 35 psi.
When properly primed and activated, the pressurized water
system can be used in the same manner as the water
system in a home. An automatic pressure sensor in the
water pump keeps the system pressurized. Simply op-
erate the spray nozzle and water will be delivered. If the
system has been recently filled, or has not been used for
an extended period of time, air bubbles may accumulate
at the pump. If this should happen, re-priming may be
necessary.
