bypass the ship's water
tanks. See photo A.
Using Optional Electric Hose Reel System
If installed, found at the starboard aft deck near the
transom is a dockside water inlet hose reel. This feature
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.
