The water temperature can vary during shower
use as the pressure pump cycles on and off. For
greatest consistency, turn the cold water on full,
then mix in hot water until the desired temperature
is obtained.
A shower sump pump is incorporated into the drain sys-
tem of the shower. The shower drains into the sump
pump located forward of the aft cabin. The water will be
pumped overboard. If a grey water system is installed,
the water will be pumped into a holding tank.
The sump pump includes an automatic bilge switch and
is protected by a circuit breaker at the cabin panel. The
sump pump will automatically start as soon as the water
in the sump reaches a level that will cause the float on
the switch to rise.
After showering, let the water flow for a period of time to
flush the pump of soap residue. Check the sump for
excess residue. When rinsed out, the pump will auto-
matically shut off.

ed,itmaybeduetosedimentaccumulatingattheshower
head. If necessary, remove the head and clean the dis-
charge holes with a fine wire.
Figure G1: 238 Water Heater & System Components
A water heater that incorporates a heat exchanger is not
available through Four Winns. This would be a dealer
installedoption. Aheatexchangerallowstheenginecool-
ant to heat a portion of the fresh water supply while the
engines are operating. This option will provide hot water
at times when 120 volt power is not available. Additional
information on heat exchangers is covered in the engine
and hot water heater manufacturers’ manuals. Please
refer to Section E on Electrical Systems for additional
information.
Periodically check the sump pump screen for clogs to
prevent drainage problems from occurring in the shower
drain. Refertothemanufacturer’sliteratureincludedwith
