Water pressure
– The freshwater pump switch is located
on the electrical panel. Please switch this off when
motoring or sailing. You could burn out the water pump
should one of the tanks run dry (and you would not hear
the pump running over the sounds of motoring or sailing).
There is a pressure accumulator so you will be able to get
some water even with the pump turned off.
Water tanks
– There are two water tanks, a 83 gal. tank
located under the v‐berth, a 57 gal. tank under the quarter
(starboard side). Selection valves are behind the panel
under the nav table, aft side. Only one valve should be
open at a time, otherwise water flows from tank to tank
and the meter readings become useless.
There is a digital readout on the main panel, it indicates
the percent of water remaining per tank (at least in
theory, it appears to read more like .6 liters). This meter
should be reset to zero when you change from one tank to another or refill all the tanks at the dock. Here
are the approximate counts
Tank # 1 ‐ Bow Tank – 100% = 87 gal,
Tank # 2 ‐ Starboard Aft Tank – 100% = 53 gal
The deck fitting for the bow water tank is on the port side
forward of mid‐ship. The fitting for the starboard tank is
on the starboard side about mid‐ship.
Water Heater
– The water is heated automatically when the engine runs under load (it takes about 45
minutes), running it at idle in the morning doesn't work, sorry. CAUTION: THE ENGINE CAN HEAT THE
WATER TO SCALDING TEMPERATURES! The hot water is stored in a 10‐gallon tank located under the
dinette seat just in front of the galley. It can also be heated electrically when shore power is available.
