Water Heater

HOT HAZARD!
Water heated by the water heater can reach temperatures high enough to scald the skin.
WATER HEATER DAMAGE HAZARDS!
• DO NOT energize the AC water heater electrical circuit until the heater is completely filled
with water. Even momentary operation in a dry tank will damage the heating elements.
Warranty replacements will not be made on elements or tank damaged in this manner. The
tank is full if water flows from the tap when the hot water is turned On in the galley.
• The water heater should be drained and the power turned Off when the possibility of
freezing exists.
• The water heater is located in the engine room on the port side.
• The water heater is connected to the AC power system, therefore, you must verify that the water heater breaker on
the AC panel is turned On before water will be heated.
• Be sure to read the manufacturer's instruction manual supplied in your boat's owner's packet and observe the fol-
lowing warnings.
