Check the in-line water filter/screen for sediment and
blockage. It is located between the water tank and the
pressurewaterpump. Ifobstructed,removefromthewater

twist apart.
Be careful when handling and storing treatment
chemicals. Not only are they toxic, but they will
also stain and damage surrounding surface.

nents by the equipment manufacturers is included with
this manual. Refer to this literature for additional opera-
tion and service information.
Be sure the batteries in the boat are properly charged.
Operating the pressure pump from a battery with a low
charge will result in pump cycling. This could lead to
prematurepumpfailure.
B. Winterizing the Water System
Winter lay-up service procedures should include a thor-
ough draining of the water system. Disconnect all ac-
cessible fittings. Blow out all lines. Be sure the hot
waterheater,freshandgreywatertanks,transomshower,
pumps and lines are completely dry. Leave all faucets
open. Freezing water can cause severe damage to all
water system components.
The decomposition of waste produces a color-
less, odorless gas, methane, that is lighter than
air, combustible, and extremely lethal. Always

to the waste system and allow no odor from the
waste system to go unresolved.
NOTICE
Always winterize the fresh water system prior to
winterization of the hull drainage (bilge pump)
system.
A. Clean Vents and Screens
Periodically, inspect the water tank vents and thru-hull
vent fittings for any dirt, wax, etc. Carefully remove any
obstruction with a pipe cleaner or similar device. Be
sure not to puncture the screen. The stainless steel
vent cap is not removable.
Draining the system as mentioned can be very tedious
and an incomplete job can result in expensive repairs.
The use of nontoxic antifreeze (such as R.V. antifreeze)
designed for fresh water systems considerably reduces
the work necessary and is a more positive means of
winterizing the system. Follow the directions included
with the antifreeze solution.
NOTICE
Failure to keep the water tank vent fittings clean
will cause excessive pressure buildup within the
tank during filling. This can cause water tank
damage.
To winterize:
1.
Turn on the water pump and drain the water tank by
opening a faucet (the pump will run faster when it is
empty).
Periodically remove the filter screens from the faucet dis-
chargespoutsandshowerhead. Removetheaccumula-
tion of sediment from the screens. If necessary, clean
