4. Showers
: There are two showers. One of the showers is located in the head the
other is located on the transom. In the head, the faucet used for the sink pulls out and
becomes a hand held shower head. There is a shower curtain, which should be used
to keep the lockers and their contents dry. Below the head floor is the shower's sump
pump "bilge pump". The switch for the sump pump is on the front of the locker, below
the sink. The pump will only go on if the water pressure is on. The discharge through
hull fitting (above water line) for the sump pump is located on the port side, just below
and aft of the sink.
The transom shower consists of a retractable hand held shower head and hot and cold
pressurized water.
5. Water Heater
: The water heater provides hot water for the pressurized water
system. The heater holds 20 liters (5.3 gallons), increasing the fresh water system's
holding capacity to 120 liters (31.7 gallons).
It heats the water in two ways.
•
when the engine is running. The engine cooling water flows through a set of
tubing in the heater (heating the fresh water) and then back into the engine.
The engine cooling water never mixes with the fresh water.
•
The heater has a 110V heating element, which can only be used when the
shore power is plugged into the dock. The on/off switch is located on the 110V
circuit breaker under the sink in the head.
**Caution**
If the fresh
water tank is empty,
make sure the electric water
heater switch is
off
at
the circuit breaker or the unit will bum out!
