Water Heater
Figure J7: Water Heater Locations
(Locations may vary depending on model)
If installed, the water heater incorporates a heat
exchanger. The heat ex changer allows the engine
coolant to quickly heat a portion of the fresh water
supply while the engines are operat ing. This provides
hot water at times when AC power is not avail able.
Addi tional informa tion on heat exchangers is dis-
cussed in the hot water heater manu facturer's manual.
Please refer to Section H on Electrical Systems for
addi tion al information.
D. Using the Shower
Turn on the faucets to de sired tempera ture, remove
the shower spout from its holder, move the diverter
lever on the shower head (if required), and the shower
is operation al.
On other V series model, turn on the shower by lifting
up on the shower handle. Rotate the shower handle
position to obtain the de sired tempera ture. The
shower head is designed to be hand-held. If desired
the shower sprayer may be removed from its holder
position and used. This hand-held feature allows for
greater ease of use and efficiency. When showering
has been completed, turn the shower handle to the off
position and place the shower head back onto its
holder (if applicable). Note: On certain models the
height of the shower holder may be adjusted for
convenience.

Water Heater
When using the shower, draw the shower curtain (if
applicable) closed before using the shower. Dam age
to the finish can result if sur r ounding walls and flooring
are allowed to become exces sively wet. Thor oughly
dry these areas after showering.
The water temper ature can vary during shower
use as the pressure pump cycles on and off.
A shower sump pump(s) is incorporated into the drain
system of the shower. The shower drains into the
sump(s) located generally forward of the aft cabin.
The water will then be pumped overboard. If a gray
water system is installed, the water will be pumped
into the gray water holding tank.
The sump pump circuitry is protected by circuit
breaker(s). Depending on the model, the circuit
breaker may be either located on the aft circuit
breaker panel and/or the 12VDC cabin panel or the
battery switch panel. The sump pump includes an
automatic float switch. The sump pump will automati-
cally start as soon as the water in the sump reach es a
level that causes the float on the switch to rise. The
gray water is then pumped overboard through thru-
hull fitting(s) or into the gray water holding tank (if
installed).
After showering, let the water flow for a period of time
to flush the pump of soap residue. Check the sump for
excess residue periodically. When rinsed out, the
pump will automatically 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 shower
head and clean the discharge holes with a fine wire.
Periodi cal ly check the sump pump screen for clogs to
prevent drainage problems from occurring in the
show er drain. Refer to the manufacturer's literature
included in the owner's packet.
J - 3
This feature is available on the V series models. If in-
stalled, the water from the galley sink, head sink and
show er will drain into a sump and is pumped into a gray
water holding tank respectively. A waste level indicator
may be installed and is located in the head compartment
or on the 12VDC cabin panel depending on the model..
A pumpout fitting labeled WASTE but designated for
gray water is provided on the deck.
