FRESHWATER SYSTEM

5.1 General

The freshwater system consists of a potable water tank, distribution lines and a distribution pump.

The pump is equipped with an automatic pressure switch and is located in the stern bilge. An in-

line strainer located near the pump protects the system from debris. The tank is filled through a

labeled deck plate located on the gunnel.

DO NOT FILL SYSTEM WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN WATER. SHOULD THE

SYSTEM BECOME CONTAMINATED WITH FUEL OR OTHER TOXIC FLUIDS,

COMPONENT REPLACEMENT MAY BE NECESSARY.

DO NOT CONFUSE FUEL FILL DECK PLATES WITH THE WATER OR WASTE FILL

DECK PLATES. THESE PLATES ARE ALSO LABELED ACCORDINGLY. IF GASO-

LINE IS ACCIDENTALLY PUMPED INTO THE WATER OR WASTE TANK, DO NOT

ATTEMPT TO PUMP IT OUT YOURSELF. WATER AND WASTE PUMPS ARE NOT

DESIGNED TO PUMP FUEL AND A FIRE OR EXPLOSION COULD RESULT. CON-

TACT YOUR DEALER OR PURSUIT CUSTOMER RELATIONS FOR ASSISTANCE IN

HAVING THE FUEL PROFESSIONALLY REMOVED.

5.2 Freshwater System Operation

Fill the water supply tank slowly through the labeled deck plate. After filling the water tank,

partially open all faucets. The “Freshwater System” breaker on the cabin DC panel should be

on. Allow the pump to run until all of the air is purged from the system and a steady stream of

water is flowing from each outlet. Next, turn off the faucets one by one. As the pressure builds,

the pump will automatically shut off.

When properly primed and activated, the water system will operate much like the water system

in a home. An automatic pressure sensor keeps the system pressurized. If the system has been

recently filled or has not been used for an extended period, air bubbles may accumulate at the

pump and the system may have to be reprimed.

Whenever the boat is left unattended, the “Freshwater System” breaker should be placed in the

“OFF” position.
