Water Heater (If Equipped)
Your boat may be equipped with a water heater. The water heater is located on the aft port side of the bilge.
The water heater is connected to the AC power system, therefore, you must make sure that the water heater
breaker on the AC panel is turned On before water will be heated.
In addition to the circuit breaker on the AC panel, there is a push to reset breaker on the water heater unit under
the metal cover on the front of the water heater.
Read the manufacturer’s instruction manual in your boat’s owner’s packet and observe the warnings:
Winterizing the Water Heater
1. Turn Off the water heater breaker.
2. Disconnect the hose (A) attached to the pres-
sure relief valve (B).
3. If there is any water in this hose, drain it into
the bilge or into a bucket.
4. Open the pressure relief valve (B).
5. Open the drain valve (C).
Leave the pressure relief and drain valves
Open until you fit out the boat after storage.
HOT HAZARD!
Water heated by the water heater will reach temperatures high enough to scald the skin.
WARNING!
!
WATER HEATER DAMAGE HAZARDS!
DO NOT energize the AC water heater electrical circuit until the heater is completely filled
with water. Even momentary operation in a dry tank will damage the heating elements.
Warranty replacements will not be made on elements or tank damaged in this manner. The
tank is full if water flows from the tap when the hot water is turned On in the galley.
The water heater must be drained and the power turned Off when the possibility of
freezing exists.
CAUTION!
!
If your boat is connected to shore power or generator power, but the water heater is
not working:
Make sure the water heater circuit breaker on the AC panel is switched On.
If the circuit breaker on the AC panel is On, but the water heater is still not working:
Consult with your dealer about checking the "push to reset" circuit breaker located on the
water heater.
