DECK FITTING
• Read the Freshwater System section in the Cruiser & Yacht Owner's Manual.
• Your boat is equipped with a pressure type (demand) freshwater (potable) system.
• Pressurize the system by turning On the freshwater pump switch.
• See the Locations section of this Supplement for the location of the freshwater pump switch.
• Since the freshwater pump requires DC power, the battery switch must also be turned On for the pump to work.
• Turn Off the freshwater pump switch when the boat is not in use or when the freshwater tank is empty.
• Inspect and clean the freshwater filter often (located on the freshwater pump).
• If your boat is to be left unattended for a long period of time, pump the freshwater tank dry to prevent stored water
from becoming stagnant and distasteful.
• If the freshwater system needs to be disinfected, ask your dealer about treatments available for your boat's system.

Transom Shower (If Equipped)

• Read the manufacturer's instructions before using the transom shower for the first time.
