WASTE AND WATER SYSTEMS
J - 1
GENERAL
NOTICE
DO NOT overfill the water tank. Tank damage
mayresult.Watercapacityandtanklocationmay
vary due to other equipment that may be instal-
led on the boat.
Some Four Winns® models are equipped with a fresh
water supply system. This system consists of a water
supply tank, water distribution lines and a distribution
pump. Refer to Figure J15 at the end of this section for
general water system diagram. The water fill deck plate
is located either on the aft deck or side decks, and is
marked “WATER”. The location of the water fill deck
plateforthefreshwatersystemmayvarydependingupon
the model and optional equipment installed. See Fig-
ure J1.
For information concerning fresh water tank capacities,
please refer to the specification sheet or visit our website
at www.fourwinns.com.
The materials from which the components of the water
system are made may give the water supply a peculiar
taste, especially when new. This condition is normal and
can be reduced somewhat through the use of a water
filter; such as that produced by PuriTec™. The taste
should completely dissipate in time.

DISINFECTINGTHEFRESH WATERSYSTEM
The fresh (potable) water system should be dis-
infected prior to initial use.
The water system should be disinfected before first use
and at the beginning of each season. The following infor-
mation is a general guide to disinfecting the fresh water
system.
Water Fill
Figure J1: Water Fill
1.
Flush the boat’s water system thoroughly with fresh
water. Makesureallnon-toxic antifreezeisremoved
from the system.
The water deck plate is appropriately labeled
WATER. DO NOT fill the system with anything
other than water. Should the system become
contaminated with fuel or other toxic solution,
complete system or component replacement
may be necessary.
2.
3.
The water system should be drained completely.
To disinfect the water system, use one gallon of wa-
ter and 1/4 cup of Clorox® or Purex® household
bleach (5% sodium hypochlorite solution). This is
recommended for each 15 gallons of tank capacity.

tain a close visual watch on the overboard vent while fill-
ing the water tank. Always fill the tank slowly. When the
tank is almost full, water will spurt out of the vent.
4.
5.
Allow to stand for three (3) hours. If time is a factor,
greater concentrations of chlorine solution will be
needed to disinfect the water system.
NOTICE
Drain the system.
When filling the tank, never seal the hose to the
deck plate. The tank would become pressur-
ized and could rupture.
