water tank. The shore water hose fitting is located in
the starboard corner of the transom.
NOTE: Connecting your boat to shore water bypasses
the boat's water tank and pressure water pump, there-
fore the water tank does not get filled. The only way to
fill the fresh water tank is through the deck plate labeled
WATER.
To connect to shore water:
1. Locate the shore water hookup fitting, labeled
SHORE WATER, in the transom's lower starboard
corner.
2. Attach one end of a water hose to the hose fitting.
3. Attach the other end of the hose to the dockside
water tap.
4. Close all sink and shower faucets.
5. Switch the forward and aft Shower Sump circuit
breakers on the Safety Breaker Panel are "ON".
6. Turn ON the dockside water tap.
Do not leave your boat unattended when it is con-
nected to shore water. Should one of the water lines
in your boat develop a leak, an unlimited amount of
water could enter your boat. Disconnect the shore
water hose whenever you leave your boat unat-
tended.
Your boat is equipped with three automatic bilge pumps
located beneath the cabin floor. The bilge is the lowest
point in the interior of the boat's hull where any liquid
that finds its way into the hull will accumulate. Each
pump can pump up to 1500 gallons of water per hour.
These pumps have been strategically installed to re-
move water that accumulates in three bilges:
1. The forward bilge starts below the galley and runs
to the bow. Access the forward bilge pump by lifting
the hatch beneath the center of the galley floor.
