Waste & Water Systems
J - 1
GENERAL
NOTICE
DO NOT overfill the water tank. Tank damage
may result. Water capacity and tank location
may vary due to other equipment that may be
installed 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 J-12 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 plate for the fresh water system may vary
depending upon the model and optional equipment
installed. See Figure J-1.
For information concerning fresh water tank capaci-
ties, please visit our website at www.fourwinns.com
or contact your Four Winns dealer.
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.

SYSTEM

bleach (5% sodium hypochlorite solution). This
is recommended for each 15 gallons of tank ca-

factor, greater concentrations of chlorine solution
will be needed to disinfect the water system.
When filling the tank, never seal the hose
