the appropriate valve to isolate it while leav-
ing the remainder of the system operational.
Whenever the boat is left unattended, turn
the fresh water system switch "OFF."
Sink and Shower Operation
To use the galley sink, head sink or shower
turn on the fresh water system. Some minor
variations in the water temperature and
pressure may occur as the pump cycles.
The sinks drain overboard.
Water drains from the shower to a sump
pump system located in the bilge below the
cabin floor. An automatic float switch in the
shower sump controls the pump. After show-
ering, let the cold water flow for a period of
time to flush the drainage system of soap
residue. It is essential that the shower drain
strainer is cleaned regularly and the sump is
inspected periodically for accumulated
debris that needs to be removed.
Water Heater
The water heater is located behind an
access panel in the head compartment bulk-
head, adjacent to the cabin steps. The water
heater uses an AC element that is thermo-
statically controlled at the heater and acti-
vated by a circuit breaker located in the AC
panel. A high pressure relief valve protects
the system from excessive pressure. Make
sure all air is purged from the water heater
and lines before activating the water heater
breaker. Refer to the water heater manual
for additional information.
Shore Water Connection
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 fresh water and
minimizes the pressure pump operation. A
female inlet fitting is mounted in the splash
well.
To use shore water, connect a hose from the
shore water faucet to the shore water fitting
on the boat, then turn on the shore water.
The pressure pump will not run and the
water in water tank of the boat will not be
used. Also, the water tank will not be filled by
connecting to shore water.
5.2 Raw Water Washdown
The raw water washdown system pump is
supplied by hoses connected to a ball valve
and a thru-hull fitting located in the bilge.
! CAUTION
DO NOT allow the fresh water pump to
run dry; damage to the pump can
occur. The fresh water pump works on
demand and WILL NOT shut off when
the tank is empty. Turn the water
pump switch "OFF" when the system
is not in use. Operating any pump
from a low-charged battery can lead to
a pump failure. Keep the batteries
properly charged. The fresh water
system must be properly winterized
prior to winter lay-up. Refer to Winter-
izing.
! CAUTION
DO NOT turn on water heater until it is
filled and primed; damage to the
heater will result.
! CAUTION
DO NOT change or modify the shore
water inlet connector without contact-
ing Pursuit Customer Relations or
your dealer. Use of the wrong type or
a modification can damage the fresh
water system.
