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 be pressurized by city water if the
system was previ ously primed.
The FRESH WATER PUMP circuit breaker switch
located on the 12VDC cabin panel should be turned
OFF when using city water. If the pump is OFF, the
pump will not function and the water in the storage
tank of the boat will not be utilized.

water supply hose be fore leaving the dock,
otherwise damage to the dockside inlet and/or
boat may occur.
Al w ays turn off the shore water whenever the
boat is left unattend ed. If a major water leak
did oc cur and went undetected, the boat could
fill with water and sink.

system or shore water connection without

Damage to the water system can occur.

BOW WASHDOWN

In the anchor locker, a speed-tap washdown fitting is
flush mounted into the deck. See J10. The tap incor-
porates an automatic shut-off valve for ease of use.
The speed tap has a quick connect feature that allows
you to attach your hose rapidly which makes it
convenient for rinsing off your anchor and chain. The
hose and spray nozzle may be stored in the transom
storage locker.
It operates much like the transom shower with the
exception of no hot water availability. As stated earlier
fresh water tank capacity is lim ited. Con nect the boat
to shore water before using large amounts of water as
re quired when wash ing down the bow and deck area
of the boat.
