FRESH WATER SYSTEM

7.1 General

The fresh water system consists of a potable water
tank, distribution lines and a distribution pump.
The pump is equipped with an automatic pressure
switch and is located in the engine compartment
near the water tank. The tank is filled through a
labeled deck plate located on the port rear gunnel,
near the transom door.. Shutoff valves in the cold
and hot water lines in the engine compartment
enable the operator to turn off the water lines if
necessary.
WARNING
DO NOT FILL SYSTEM WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN WATER.
SHOULD THE SYSTEM BECOME CONTAMINATED WITH FUEL
OR OTHER TOXIC FLUIDS, COMPONENT REPLACEMENT
MAY BE NECESSARY.
WARNING
WATER AND WASTE PUMPS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO PUMP
FUEL AND A FIRE OR EXPLOSION COULD RESULT. DO NOT
CONFUSE FUEL FILL DECK PLATES WITH THE WATER OR
WASTE FILL DECK PLATES. THESE PLATES ALSO ARE
LABELED ACCORDINGLY. IF GASOLINE OR DIESEL FUEL IS
ACCIDENTALLY PUMPED INTO THE WATER OR WASTE TANK,
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUMP IT OUT YOURSELF. CONTACT
YOUR DEALER OR THE MONTEREY BOATS CUSTOMER
SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR ASSISTANCE IN HAVING THE
FUEL PROFESSIONALLY REMOVED AND COMPONENTS OF
THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM REPLACED AS NECESSARY.

7.2 Fresh Water System Operation

Fill the water tank slowly through the labeled
deck plate. After filling the water tank, partially
open all faucets. The Water Pump breaker on the
cabin DC panel should be on. Allow the pump to
run until all of the air is purged from the system
and a steady stream of water is flowing from each
outlet. Next, turn off the faucets one by one. As
the pressure builds, the pump will automatically
shut off.
When properly primed and activated, the water
system will operate much like the water system in
a home. An automatic pressure sensor keeps the
system pressurized. If the system has been re-

cently filled or has not been used for an extended
period, air bubbles may accumulate at the pump
and the system may have to be reprimed.
Whenever the boat is left unattended, the Water
Pump breaker should be placed in the "OFF" po-
sition.
