B. System Operation
Water Heater
Engine
Room
When properly primed and activated, the pressurized
water system can be used in the same manner as
the water system in a home. An automatic pressure
sensor in the water pump keeps the system pressur-
ized. Simply turn on the faucet and water will be
delivered. If the system has been recently filled, or
has not been used for an extended period of time,
air bubbles may accumulate at the pump and/or in
the waterlines. If this should happen, re-priming may
be necessary. Refer to the preceding subsection
regarding priming the system.
Bow
To obtain the most consistent mixture of hot and cold
water, turn the cold water on full, then mix in hot water
until the desired temperature is obtained. If water
pump cycling occurs, some minor variations in water
temperature can be expected.
Figure J5: Water Heater Location
On the V458 models the water heater incorporates a
heat exchanger. The heat exchanger allows the
engine coolant to quickly heat a portion of the fresh
water supply while the engines are operating. This
provides hot water at times when 120 volt power is
not available. Additional information on heat exchang-
ers is discussed in the hot water heater manu-
facturer’s manual. Please refer to Section H on
Electrical Systems for additional information.
Whenever the boat will be left unattended for an
extended period, the FRESH WATER PUMP circuit
breaker switch should be turned to the OFF position.
This switch should also be turned OFF whenever the
water tank is to remain empty for an extended period
of time.
D. Using The Forward & Aft Showers
C. Water Heating Systems
Turn on the shower by lifting up on the shower handle.
Rotate the shower handle position to obtain the
desired temperature. The shower head is designed to
be hand-held. If desired the shower sprayer may be
removed from its holder position and used. This hand-
held feature allows for greater ease of use and
efficiency. When showering has been completed, turn
the shower handle to the off position and place the
shower head back onto its holder (if applicable). Note:
height of the shower holder for the forward head may
be adjusted for convenience.
A water heater is a standard feature on the V458
models. The capacity of the water heater may be
found on our website at www.fourwinns.com. Refer to
Figure J5 and the locator drawing at the back of the
manual for the location of the water heater.
NOTICE
Water heater location may vary due to the
installation of optional equipment.
The water heater utilizes 120 volt (230 volt on 50
Hertz models) power. The water heater breaker switch
is located on the cabin 240V AC cabin panel.
When using the shower, draw the shower curtain
closed 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.
NOTICE
DO NOT supply 120 volt (230 volt) power to an
empty water heater. Damage to the heater will
result immediately. The water system must be
filled and primed before attempting to use the
water heater.
The water temperature can vary during shower
use as the pressure pump cycles on and off.
