The fresh water system consists of a 21 gallon (79.5
liter) water tank, 12 volt water pump and water
system filter.
The fresh water system is activated by the FRESH
WATER PUMP switch on the port switch panel at
the helm (See Fig. 2.7.2).
To begin initial operation:
1. Fill the water tank from a source known to
provide safe, pure drinking water by removing
the cap marked WATER located on the
starboard transom and inserting the water hose
nozzle in the opening. Do not mistake the fuel
fill or the waste plate for the water tank fill cap.
2. Turn ON the FRESH WATER PUMP breaker,
located on the Main Distribution Panel.
3. Open the sink faucet to allow any air trapped in
the water line to dissipate.
4. Shut off faucet as flow becomes free of air.
Shutting off the faucet will cause the pump to
shut off. As long as the water pump and battery
switches are on, the pump will automatically
provide water on demand.

If the fresh water system has not been used for
some time, or if you suspect that it has been
contaminated, then it should be sanitized. Your
marine dealer may have a water treatment additive
that can be used to sanitize the system. Follow the
instructions provided with the additive.

Pages 2.6 through 2.8 show the location and
arrangement of the most important equipment and
components on your boat. Using these drawings,
walk through your boat, locate the features shown,
and become familiar with their operation and
maintenance.
If a water treatment additive is not available, the
following steps may be followed to sanitize the water
system:
1. Pump the water tank empty. Shut OFF the
Fresh Water Pump breaker.
2. Determine the capacity of your water tank (your
standard water tank holds 21 gallons (79.5
liters)). You will need approximately one (1)
gallon of weak bleach solution for each fifteen
(15) gallons of tank capacity.
3. Prepare the proper amount of a weak bleach
solution by mixing 1/4 cup of unscented
household chlorine bleach per gallon of water.
4. Pour weak bleach solution into the water tank.
Remember, use about one (1) gallon of weak
bleach solution for each fifteen (15) gallons of
tank capacity.
5. Fill the remainder of the tank with fresh, clean
water. This will further dilute the weak bleach
solution.
6. Switch ON the Fresh Water Pump breaker, then
turn on the faucets and allow the air to be
exhausted from the plumbing system. By doing
this, the entire fresh water system will be filled
with a sanitizing solution.
7. Allow the sanitizing solution to stand in the water
system for three (3) hours.
8. Pump the water tank empty.
9. Fill the water system completely with fresh,
clean water. Turn on the faucet and permit the
entire contents of fresh, clean water to run
through the system. This will flush the sanitizing
solution out of the plumbing.
10. Fill the water system again, with fresh, clean
water, and turn on the faucet to permit the air
to dissipate.
Your water system is now sanitized.
