Maintenance
Information supplied with water system com-
ponents, by the equipment manufacturers, is
included with this manual. Refer to this infor-
mation for additional operation and service
data.
Fresh Water System
Routinely complete the following tasks to
maintain your fresh water system:
• Remove the filter screens from faucet
spouts and eliminate any accumulation
of debris. A build-up of debris can cause
the pump to cycle excessively.
• The fresh water system is equipped with
a strainer located on the intake line near
the pump. Check annually and clean as
necessary.
• Periodically remove the lid on the
shower sump assembly located under
the aft berth. Clean debris from the sump
and flush with clean water. Activate the
float switch to test the pump.
• Periodically spray the pumps and metal
components with a metal protector.
• Properly maintain and charge the batter-
ies. Operating the pressure pump from a
battery with a low charge can lead to
pump failure.
• Add a commercially available potable
water conditioner to the water tank to
keep it fresh.
! CAUTION
Place the fresh water system switch in
the “off” position when not in use or
when leaving the boat unattended.
