making sure the dockside water supply is safe and pure.
1. Near the potable water valve will be
found a dockside water fi tting. Unscrew
the cap. Connect a clean hose to the
yacht's dockside water inlet fi tting and
the marina dockside water supply.

Using Optional Electric Hose Reel System
If installed near the transom in the engine room is a
dockside water inlet hose reel. This option permits
dockside marina (city) water to be used onboard while
the vessel is moored eliminating the need to use the water
stored in the water tanks.
Follow these steps to activate the system after verifying
the water supply is safe and pure.
