FRESH WATER SYSTEM
7.1 General
The fresh water system consists of a potable water
tank, distribution lines and a distribution pump. The
pump is equipped with an automatic pressure switch
and is located near the water tank in the aft systems
compartment. The tank is located in the bilge.
CAUTION
DO NOT FILL SYSTEM WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN WATER.
SHOULD THE SYSTEM BECOME CONTAMINATED WITH FUEL
OR OTHER TOXIC FLUIDS, COMPONENT REPLACEMENT
MAY BE NECESSARY.
WARNING
DO NOT CONFUSE FUEL FILL DECK PLATE WITH THE WATER
OR WASTE FILL DECK PLATES. THESE PLATES ALSO
ARE LABELED ACCORDINGLY. IF FUEL IS ACCIDENTALLY
PUMPED INTO THE WATER OR WASTE TANK, DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO PUMP IT OUT YOURSELF. WATER AND WASTE
PUMPS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO PUMP FUEL AND A FIRE
OR EXPLOSION COULD RESULT. CONTACT YOUR DEALER
OR THE EVERGLADES CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT
FOR ASSISTANCE IN HAVING THE FUEL PROFESSIONALLY
REMOVED AND COMPONENTS OF THE FRESH WATER
SYSTEM REPLACED AS NECESSARY.
7.2 Fresh Water System Operation
Fill the water supply tank slowly through the la-
beled deck fill fitting. After filling the water tank,
activate the Fresh Water switch in the helm switch
panel and open the nozzle on the fresh water
washdown hose or the cockpit sink/shower. Al-
low the pump to run until all of the air is purged
from the system and a steady stream of water is
flowing from nozzle. Release the nozzle to stop
the water flow. As the pressure builds the pump
will automatically shut off.
When properly primed and activated, the water
system will operate much like the water system
in a home. An automatic pressure sensor keeps
the system pressurized. If the system has been
recently filled or has not been used for an ex
-
tended period, air bubbles may accumulate at the
pump and the system may have to be reprimed.
Whenever the boat is left unattended, the Fresh
Water switch should be placed in the OFF position.

CAUTION
DO NOT ALLOW THE FRESH WATER PUMP TO RUN DRY. THE
FRESH WATER PUMP WORKS ON DEMAND AND WILL NOT
SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE TANK IS EMPTY.
THIS CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE PUMP. ALWAYS
TURN THE FRESH WATER SWITCH OFF WHEN THE SYSTEM
IS NOT IN USE.
Fresh Water Shower
The fresh water shower is located in the prep
station sink. It is equipped with a spray head
on a retractable hose. To use the shower, pull
the shower head out of the recess. Activate the
shower with the thumb activated valve on the
