Winterizing the Water Heater
WATER HEATER DAMAGE HAZARD!
• NEVER turn On the water heater breaker on the 110-volt AC master panel while the water
heater tank is empty.
• Even brief water heater operation with a dry tank WILL damage the heating elements.
• Warranty replacements will NOT be made on elements damaged in this manner.
• To prevent damage to the water heater after winterizing, always label the breaker switch on
the 110-volt AC master panel as 'winterized'.
The freshwater system MUST be drained BEFORE winterizing the water heater (see the
Freshwater System Winterization Instructions on the previous page).
1. Turn Off the water
heater breaker.
2. Disconnect the hose
(A) attached to the
pressure relief valve
(B).
3. If there is any water in
this hose, drain it into
the bilge or into a
bucket.
4. Open the pressure
relief valve (B).
5. Open the drain valve
(C).
6. Attach a tag to the
water heater breaker to
indicate that the tank is
empty.
• NOTE: Your boat came
with a tag attached to
the water heater breaker.
It is suggested that you
keep this tag and re-use
it when winterizing.
• Leave the pressure
relief and drain valves
Open until you fit out
your boat after storage.
