DO NOT ALLOW THE FRESHWATER PUMP TO RUN DRY. THE FRESHWATER
PUMP WORKS ON DEMAND AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHEN
THE TANK IS EMPTY. THIS CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE PUMP. ALWAYS
TURN THE WATER PRESSURE BREAKER OFF WHEN THE FRESHWATER SYSTEM
IS NOT IN USE.
5.3 Water Heater
The water heater is located in a compartment below the dinette seat. All heaters have a AC
element that is thermostatically controlled at the heater and activated by a circuit breaker located
in the AC panel. A high pressure relief valve protects the system from excessive pressure.
Always make sure all air is purged from the water heater and lines before activating the water
heater breaker. Refer to the water heater owner’s manual for additional information.
DO NOT SUPPLY CURRENT TO AN EMPTY WATER HEATER. DAMAGE TO THE
HEATER WILL RESULT. THE SYSTEM MUST BE FILLED AND PRIMED BEFORE
USING THE WATER HEATER.
5.4 Shore Water Connection (Optional)
The shore water connection allows the direct connection of the water system to a shore side water
supply. This provides the system with a constant supply of freshwater and minimizes the
pressure pump operation. A female inlet fitting is mounted in the cockpit. A pressure reducer
is installed in the system along with two check valves. One check valve keeps water from running
out of the shore water inlet fitting when the pressure pump operates. The second provides
protection for the pressure pump when the shore water is connected.
To use shore water, connect a hose from the shore water faucet to the shore water fitting on the
boat. Next, turn on the shore water. The pressure pump will not run and the water in the boat’s
water tank will not be used.
Note: The water tank will not be filled by connecting to shore water.
