Section 5 Plumbing System

OS 375

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 below the cabin

lounge. All heaters have an 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 pres-

sure. 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.
