visually examined on a regular basis for

loose connections as necessary. See your

their replacement, if necessary.
Dockside Water Supply System
Your 43MY is equipped with a dockside
water inlet located in the storage compart-
ment which is located above the swim
platform. The photo below shows the
Fresh Water Inlet.
This system operates independently of the
Fresh Water Pump System and simply
depends on its connection to a suitable
garden-type water hose for its supply of
fresh water. When the water supply is
connected to the water inlet and turned
ON, the system is automatically pressur-
ized without the need for the fresh water
pump. The water entering this system will
not fill the fresh water tank; a check valve,
located in the pressure line of the fresh
water pump, prevents the water from
entering the fresh water tank. Be sure to
turn OFF the fresh water pump at the AC/
DC Panel when connected to the shore
water supply.
pressure is lowered below the preset level,
the fresh water pump will automatically
return to operation.
Fresh Water Filter:
The water pumped from the fresh water
tank flows through a filter located on the
suction side of the fresh water pump. Its
purpose is to remove impurities that may
be present in the fresh water system prior
to its consumption. The filter is easily
removed from the fresh water pump and
should be cleaned on a regular basis.
The photo below shows(from left to right)
the Accumulator, Fresh Water Pump, and
the Filter. The accumulator maintains a
constant pressure throughout your water
system.
Fresh Water Lines (Cold Water and Hot
Water): The fresh water lines carry the
water from the fresh water tank, the water
heater, and the various faucets located in
the Galley and Head areas of your 43MY.
They are constructed of polybutylene
plastic material and are 1/2 inch inside
diameter. The COLD WATER lines have
pale blue manufacturer’s lettering and the
HOT WATER lines have pale red
manufacturer’s lettering for identification
purposes. The fresh water lines require
