Fuel Transfer Pump (Option)

The optional fuel transfer pump is used to pump fuel from one tank to another. The fuel transfer pump switch is
located at the upper helm station.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD! NEVER transfer fuel into a full (or nearly full) fuel tank. Fuel
transferred into a full tank may spill overboard through the tank venting system.
Fuel Filters & Separators
Fuel filters and separators should be inspected periodically for debris and replaced as needed (according to the
instructions detailed in your engine manual, generator manual and in the filter literature). Fuel filters are located in
the engine room on the aft wall next to the power inverter.

Fuel Quality

• The quality of the fuel is very important for good engine performance and long engine life. Fuel should be clean
and free of contamination. Your fuel tanks should be kept full whenever possible. This will reduce the amount of
water condensation and reduce the possibility of contamination.
• Ask your dealer or local marina about fuel additives that help prevent fungus growth or buildup in your tanks.

Freshwater System

The water tank fill fitting is located on the port
side deck (see drawing under Deck Fill &
Pump-out Locations). The city water inlet is
located on the port side of transom.
A pressure accumulator tank is installed in the
freshwater system. The pressure accumulator
tank assists the pressure pump by reducing on/off
cycling and distributing an even flow of water.
When your boat is to be left unattended for long
periods of time:
• Pump the water tanks dry to prevent stored
water from becoming stagnant and distasteful.
• Should it become necessary to disinfect the
freshwater system, ask your dealer about
treatments available for your yacht's system.
Inspect and clean the water filter often:
• The filter is located on the water pump, which
is on the port side of the water tank.
• You can access this filter either from the aft
machinery compartment or the main engine
room. The water tank is located between these
two compartments.
• When the filter is unscrewed, water will drain
out of the fresh water tank until the tank level
reaches the level of the pump. To avoid exces-
sive spillage, only clean the filter when the
tank is less than half full.
