WATER SYSTEMS
G -1 GENERAL
The fresh water supply system consists of supply
tank(s), distribution lines and a distribution pump. A
water fill plate
is provided fon the deck. Some systems
have two or more tanks and require slow filling to allow
the water to transfer between tanks.
Each water tank is equipped with
an overboard vent.
Monitor the overboard vent(s) while filling the water
tank. When the tank
is almost full, water will spurt out
of the vent.
The various components used may give the water
supply a peculiar taste, especially when new. This
condition
is normal and can be reduced by a water filter.
The taste will completely dissipate
in time.
IMPORTANT: Thoroughly flush the system before
initial use and at least once each season.
G - 2 PRESSURIZED WATER SYSTEM
This boat has been equipped with a cold, fresh water,
pressurized system.

A.
Priming the System
After filling the water tanks, partially open all faucets.
Position the Battery Selector Switch to the
"1 n, "2" or
"ALL" position and place the Pressure Water circuit
breaker
in the ON position. For pressure water pumps
manufactured by Raritan, set the switch on the
pu mp to
the AUTO-ON position. After air has been purged from
the system and a steady stream of water
is coming from
each faucet, individually turn off the faucets. Begin with
the cold water side of the faucet and continue until all
have been shut.
As pressure within the system builds,
the pump will automatically shut off. See section E for
additional data.
B. System Operation
The pressure water system
in the boat operates in the
same manner
as that in a house. Simply turn the valve
on the faucet and water will flow.· A recently filled
system,
or one that has not been used for sometime,
may need repriming. This
is caused by air bubbles
accumulating at the pump. .
If the boat
is to be left unattended for an extended
period, rotate the Battery Selector Switch to the OFF
position. Also, place the circuit breaker for the Pres-
sureWater Pump
in the OFF position.
C. Water Heating Systems (23, 25 & 27 foot models)
A pressurized hot water system can be installed
on 23'
and 25' models
as an option; this system is standard on
27' models. Water lines within the boat are color coded;
cold water lines are grey, hot water lines are black.
