The materials from which the compo nents of the water
system are made may give the water supply a pecu-
liar taste, especially when new. This condi tion is
normal and can be re duced somewhat through the
use of a water filter. The taste will completely dissi p ate
in time.
The fresh (potable) water system should be
disinfected prior to initial use.

The water system should be disinfected before first
use and at the beginning of each season. The follow-
ing information is a general guide to disin fecting the
fresh water system.
1. Flush the boat's water system thoroughly with
fresh water. Make sure all nontoxic antifreeze is
re moved from the system.
2. The water system should be drained com plete ly.
3. To disinfect the water system, use one gallon of
water and 1/4 cup of Clorox
bleach (5% sodium hypochlorite solu t ion). This
is recommended for each 15 gallons of tank
capacity.
4. Allow to stand for three (3) hours. If time is a
factor, greater concentra tions 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 one
quart vinegar to five gallons water and allow this
solution to agitate in the tank for several days during
boating. Then drain tank and refill with fresh water.
All drains are equipped with traps, and the water will
drain slowly. If the system is not operat ing properly,
