Inspect and clean the shower sump every 30 days.
Some water will always be in the compartment.
Sediment and other debris will buildup and affect the
automatic bilge switch and pump operation. Remove
the pump’s cover and clean the screen. The screen
will become blocked and the pump will not operate
properly. To clean the compartment, use baking soda
and a fine wire brush to remove dirt and other debris.
This will also serve to disinfect the area.
B. Winterizing the Water System
Winter lay-up service procedures should include a
thorough draining of the water system. Disconnect all
accessible fittings. Blow out all lines. Be sure the hot
water heater, fresh and grey water tanks, transom
shower, pumps and lines are completely dry. Leave
all faucets open. Freezing water can cause severe
damage to all water system components.
NOTICE
Always winterize the fresh water system prior
to winterization of the hull drainage (bilge
pump) system.
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. anti-
freeze) 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.
