Chapter 6: Plumbing

Freshwater System

• ONLY use safe drinking (potable) water in your boat's freshwater system.
• ONLY use FDA approved "drinking water safe" hoses when filling the freshwater tank.
• NEVER use common garden hoses for drinking water.
• Read the Freshwater System section in the Cruiser & Yacht Owner's Manual.
• The freshwater fill deck fitting is marked WATER.
• Pressurize the freshwater system by either turning On the freshwater pump switch (the battery switch must also
be On).
• For the location of the freshwater pump switch, see the Component Locations section in Chapter 2 of
this supplement.
• Turn Off the freshwater pump switch when your boat is not in use or when the freshwater tank is empty.
• Inspect and clean the freshwater filter often (the filter is 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

• Read the manufacturer's instructions before using the transom shower for the first time.
• The freshwater pump switch must be turned On before using the transom shower.
