Turn on the faucets to desired temperature, remove the
shower spout from the sink faucet receptacle, move the
lever on the shower head, and the shower is operational.
The shower hose is connected to the shower spout and
runs inside the faucet receptacle and underneath the
sink.
When using the shower, draw the shower curtain before
using the shower. Damage to the finish can result if sur-
rounding walls and flooring are allowed to become exces-
sively wet. Thoroughly dry these areas after showering.
The water temperature can vary during shower
use as the pressure pump cycles on and off.
For greatest consistency, turn the cold water on
full, then mix in hot water until the desired tem-
perature is obtained.
A shower sump pump is incorporated into the drain sys-
tem of the shower. The shower drains into the sump
pump located forward of the aft cabin. The water will then
be pumped into the black/grey water holding tank . If a
grey water system is installed, the water will be pumped
into the grey water holding tank.
The sump pump includes an automatic bilge switch and
is protected by a circuit breaker at the cabin panel. The
sump pump will automatically start as soon as the water
in the sump reaches a level that will cause the float on
the switch to rise.
After showering, let the water flow for a period of time to
flush the pump of soap residue. Check the sump for
excess residue. When rinsed out, the pump will auto-
matically shut off.
If water flow from the shower head appears to be restrict-
ed, it may be due to sediment accumulating at the shower
head. If necessary, remove the head and clean the dis-
charge holes with a fine wire.
Periodically check the sump pump screen for clogs to
prevent drainage problems from occurring in the shower
drain. Refer to the manufacturer’s literature included in
the owner’s packet.

The grey water system is optional on 298/328 Vista®
models. The water from the galley sink, head sink and
shower will drain into a sump and is pumped into a 20 or
30 gallon (75.4/114 liters) holding tank respectively. The
waste level indicator is located in the head compart-
ment. A pumpout fitting labeled WASTE but designated
for grey water is provided on the deck. Refer to Figure J3
for location of the pumpout fitting. Also, refer to the draw-
ings at the end of this section.

Certain geographical areas have restrictions on
grey water being pumped or drained overboard.
Be sure to check all local, state and federal laws
in the boating area.
Shore water connection is standard on all Vista® mod-
els. This feature allows the direct connection of a city or
shoreside water supply to the boat’s water system to
provide a constant supply of fresh water without the need
to constantly refill the water supply tank. This minimizes
pressure pump operation thus extending the life span of
the pump.
Dockside shore water pressure can vary dramatically.
Excess pressure could damage the boat’s water system
so the shore connection also regulates the water pres-
sure to a maximum of 35 psi.
The female inlet deck fitting is in the transom door stor-
age area.
To use shore water, connect a hose from the shore water
faucet to the shore water fitting on the boat and turn on
the shore water. The water system of the boat will then
