J - 3 GREY WATER SYSTEM
The.grey.water.system.is.optional.on.Vista®.models...
The.water.from.the.galley.sink,.head.sink.and.shower.
will.drain.into.a.sump.and.is.pumped.into.a.grey.water.
holding.tank.respectively...The.waste.level.indicator.is.
located in the head compartment. A pumpout fitting
labeled.WASTE.but.designated.for.grey.water.is.
provided.on.the.deck..Refer.to.the.drawings.at.the.
end.of.this.section..
D. Using The Shower
Turn.on.the.faucets.to.desired.temperature,.remove.
the.shower.spout.from.its.holder,.move.the.diverter.
lever.on.the.shower.head,.and.the.shower.is..
operational.
NOTICE
When.using.the.shower,.draw.the.shower.curtain.
before using the shower. Damage to the finish can
result if surrounding walls and flooring are allowed to
become.excessively.wet..Thoroughly.dry.these.areas.
after.showering.
Certain geographical areas have restrictions
on grey water being pumped or drained
overboard. Be sure to check all local, state
and federal laws in the boating area.
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.

SHORE WATER CONNECTION
Shore.water.connection.is.standard.on.the.318.Vista .
®
models..This.feature.allows.the.direct.connection.of..
a.city.or.shoreside.water.supply.to.the.boat’s.water.
system.to.provide.a.constant.supply.of.fresh.water.
without the need to constantly refill the water supply
tank..This.minimizes.pressure.pump.operation.thus.
extending.the.life.span.of.the.pump.
A.shower.sump.pump.is.incorporated.into.the.drain.
system.of.the.shower..The.shower.drains.into.the.
sump.pump.located.forward.of.the.aft.cabin..The.
water.will.then.be.pumped.overboard..If.a.grey.water.
system.is.installed,.the.water.will.be.pumped.into.the.
grey.water.holding.tank.
Dockside.shore.water.pressure.can.vary.dramatically...
Excess.pressure.could.damage.the.boat’s.water.
system.so.the.shore.connection.also.regulates.the.
water.pressure.to.a.maximum.of.35.psi..
The.sump.pump.includes.an.automatic.bilge.switch.
and.is.protected.by.a.circuit.breaker.at.the.AC/DC.
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.
The shore water inlet/regulator fitting is located
outboard,.on.the.starboard.side.of.the.transom.above.
the.swim.platform,.inside.the.transom.washdown.
storage.area..See.Figures.J-3.and.the.drawings.at.the.
end.of.this.section.
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.
automatically.shut.off.
To.use.shore.water,.connect.a.hose.from.the.shore.
water faucet to the shore water fitting on the boat and
turn.on.the.shore.water..The.water.system.of.the.boat.
will.then.be.pressurized.by.city.water.if.the.system.
was.previously.primed.
If water flow from the shower head appears to be
restricted,.it.may.be.due.to.sediment.accumulating.at.
the.shower.head..If.necessary,.remove.the.head.and.
clean the discharge holes with a fine wire.
