Freshwater System (if equipped)

Before departing on a cruise, check the level of
fresh water onboard. Fill the freshwater tank and
verify for proper operation of the freshwater system.
If a problem is found, have the problem repaired at
your earliest convenience.
Cleaning and Disinfecting the Freshwater
System
For potable (drinking) water, follow these steps to
disinfect the water tank and system before the first
use and prior to the boating season every year.
Repeat process as often as needed.
These steps involve filling the freshwater tank with a
solution of household bleach and running the
solution through each faucet, and then letting it
stand for at least three hours. Finally, flush the
system once or twice to remove the taste and smell.
1. Start with a nearly full freshwater tank.
2. Dilute 4 tablespoons of household bleach for
each 10 gallons of tank capacity into a gallon of
water.
3. Add the chlorine/water solution to the water
tank. (Never pour straight bleach into the
freshwater tank.)
4. One faucet at a time, let the chlorinated water
run through them for one or two minutes. (Hot
water will take longer due to hot water tank.)
You should be able to smell the chlorine. (Make
sure you are using the water pump and not an
external water supply.)
5. Top off the freshwater tank and let stand for at
least three hours – overnight is better.
6. Completely drain the system by flushing the
faucets for several minutes each. Open the
freshwater tank drain valve to speed up
emptying the tank and open the hot water tank
drain plug (if applicable) and drain until it is
empty.
7. Close all valves and faucets and install all drain
plugs.
8. Fill the water tank with fresh water.
9. Flush each faucet for several minutes each,
repeating until the tank is again empty. (Make
sure you are using the water pump and not an
external water supply.)

10. Fill the tank again. The water should now be
safe to drink. If the chlorine odor is too strong,
you can repeat the freshwater flush.

LIFTING THE BOAT

Boat Support Recommendations (for
Trailering, Storage and Lifts)
Marker One recommends supporting the Marker
One platforms with full-length "split bunks" covered
with a material that does not hold or trap water. If
this is not possible, use a minimum of three
V-bunks under each of the three pontoons (total of
nine V-bunks). V-bunks should be at least 12 in.
long and should be placed one under the aft end
and extend past the end of the pontoon, one at the
center under weld joint and one at forward end
under weld joint. Placement is critical as there are
internal bulkheads at each weld to distribute the
load. Do not sit on a flat bunk as keel guard can be
damaged.

Lifting Procedure

To prevent structural damage to your Marker One
boat, one of the two following procedures must be
followed when removing your boat from the water.
1. Use a trailer designed for your boat. Refer to
Boat Support Recommendations (for
Trailering, Storage and Lifts).
