5.3 Water Heater

The water heater is located in the engine compartment. All heaters have an AC element that is thermostatically

controlled at the heater and activated by a circuit breaker located in the AC panel. The water heater is also

equipped with a heat exchanger that is plumbed to the fresh water cooling system on one of the engines. The

heat exchanger will heat the water in the hot water tank whenever that engine is operating.

THE FRESH WATER SUPPLY COULD BECOME CONTAMINATED WITH ENGINE COOL-

ANT IF THE HEAT EXCHANGER IN THE WATER HEATER FAILS. MOST ENGINE COOL-

ANT IS TOXIC AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IF IT CONTAMINATES

THE FRESH WATER SUPPLY AND SOMEONE DRINKS THE WATER. NEVER DRINK THE

WATER FROM THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM FAUCETS WHEN THE ENGINE HEAT

EXCHANGER IS ACTIVATED.

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 shoreside water supply. This

provides the system with a constant supply of fresh water 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.

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. The water tank will not be filled by connecting to shore water.

DO NOT MODIFY OR CHANGE THE SHORE WATER INLET CONNECTOR WITH AN-

OTHER TYPE WITHOUT CONSULTING PURSUIT CUSTOMER RELATIONS OR YOUR

DEALER. THE USE OF THE WRONG TYPE OF INLET CONNECTOR CAN DAMAGE THE

FRESH WATER SYSTEM.
