5.2 Freshwater Washdown Operation
Fill the water supply tank slowly through the labeled deck plate.
After filling the water tank, open the hose connector for the freshwater
washdown. The freshwater switch on the 12-volt panel should be on.
Allow the pump to run until all of the air is purged from the system and a
steady stream of water is flowing from the outlet. Turn the pump off and
close the outlet or install the washdown hose.
When activated, the pressure switch will automatically control the pump.
As the pressure builds in the washdown hose, the pump will shut off. When
the washdown hose is in use and the pressure drops, the pump will turn on.
If the system has been recently filled or has not been used for an extended
period, air bubbles may accumulate at the pump and the system may have
to be reprimed. Whenever the boat is left unattended, the freshwater pump
switch should be placed in the “OFF” position.
DO NOT ALLOW THE FRESHWATER PUMP TO RUN DRY. THIS CAN RESULT IN DAM-
AGE TO THE PUMP.
The Washdown Pump Connection
The washdown pump hose connection is located in the cockpit and uses a
standard garden hose connection.
5.3 Freshwater System Maintenance
Information supplied with water system components, by the equipment manufacturers, is included
with this manual. Refer to this information for additional operation and service data.
The following items should be done routinely to maintain your freshwater system:
• Periodically, remove the cover from the water tank vent and clean the vent of any debris. Be
sure the covers are replaced securely after cleaning. The covers help prevent foreign matter and
seawater from contaminating the water system. If the vent cover is damaged or lost it should
be replaced as soon as possible.
• Periodically spray the pumps and metal components with a metal protector.
