Figure J1: Water Fill
The water deck plate is appropriately labeled
WATER. DO NOT fill the system with anything
other than water. Should the system become
contaminated with fuel or other toxic solution,
complete system or component replacement
may be necessary.
The.fresh.water.tank.is.located.on.the.port.side.of.the.
boat..(Location.may.vary.depending.upon.options.in-
stalled). The fresh water deck plate used for filling the
tank.is.also.located.on.the.port.side..The.fresh.water.
deck fill is clearly mark "WATER". The water tank is
equipped.with.an.overboard.vent..Maintain.a.close.
visual watch on the overboard vent while filling the wa-
ter tank. Always fill the tank slowly. When the tank is
almost.full,.water.will.spurt.out.of.the.vent.
NOTICE
When filling the tank, never seal the hose to
the deck plate. The tank would become pres-
surized and could rupture.

fresh.water.system.
1.. Flush.the.boat's.water.system.thoroughly.with.
fresh.water..Make.sure.all.non-toxic.antifreeze..
is.removed.from.the.system.
2.. The.water.system.should.be.drained.completely.
3.. To.disinfect.the.water.system,.use.one.gallon.of.
water.and.1/4.cup.of.Clorox
bleach.(5%.sodium.hypochlorite.solution)..This..
is.recommended.for.each.15.gallons.of.tank.ca-
pacity.
4.. Allow.to.stand.for.three.(3).hours..If.time.is.a..
factor,.greater.concentrations.of.chlorine.solution.
will.be.needed.to.disinfect.the.water.system.
5.. Drain.the.system.
6.. Flush.the.system.thoroughly.with.fresh.water.
7.. Fill.the.system.with.fresh.water.
To.remove.excessive.chlorine.taste.or.odor.which.
might.remain.in.the.system,.prepare.a.solution.of.
