Chapter 6: Plumbing

Freshwater System

 ONLY use safe drinking (potable) water in your boat's freshwater system.
 ONLY use FDA approved "drinking water safe" hoses when filling the freshwater tank.
 NEVER use common garden hoses for drinking water.
 Read the Freshwater System section in the Cruiser & Yacht Owner's Manual.
 The freshwater fill deck fitting is marked WATER.
 Pressurize the freshwater system by either turning On the freshwater pump switch (the battery switch must also
be On).
 For the location of the freshwater pump switch, see the Component Locations section in Chapter 2 of
this supplement.
 Turn Off the freshwater pump switch when your boat is not in use or when the freshwater tank is empty.
 Inspect and clean the freshwater filter often (the filter is located on the freshwater pump).
 If your boat is to be left unattended for a long period of time, pump the freshwater tank dry to prevent stored water
from becoming stagnant and distasteful.
 If the freshwater system needs to be disinfected, ask your dealer about treatments available for your boat's system.

Transom Shower

 Read the manufacturer's instructions before using the transom shower for the first time.
 The freshwater pump switch must be turned On before using the transom shower.
