any work has been done aboard the boat which might have affected any
part of the system. Be certain that all fuel system components are in
proper condition and that the entire system is fuel tight. Each fuel tank
has amanual shut-off valves on the top of the tank to close off the fuel
system in case of leakage or line failure. There is also a fuel valve on the
fuel fi lter to prevent fuel leakage when changing the fi lter.
The fuel tank is located forward of the engine compartment under the
cockpit fl oor. The fuel tank fi ll pipe is on the outside deck.
The fuel tank vent allows air to escape as the tank is being fi lled and
helps equalize tank pressure as temperatures change.
Periodically, check the condition of the fuel tank components. Fuel tank
fi ttings are accessible through the inspection plate of the cockpit fl oor.
Note: The fuel fi ll cap has a built-in tank ventilation feature. If you
should need to replace the cap, see your dealer for the exact cap to
ensure proper fuel system operation.
Fuel Recommendations
The quality of the fuel is very important for satisfactory engine perfor-
mance and long engine life. Fuel should be clean and free of contamina-
tion. Your fuel tanks should be kept full of fuel whenever possible. This
will reduce the amount of water condensation and reduce the possibility
of contamination.
FRESH WATER SYSTEM
Some models have a non-pressurized water system as standard equip-
ment and a pressurized system as optional. The fresh water system pro-
vides water from an onboard storage tank.
On some models, the fresh water tank is fi lled through the fi ll plate on the
side of the deck. The vent allows air to enter and escape as water levels
change. Fill the tank only with potable water. Using and refi lling the tank
frequently keeps drinking water fresh and clean.
Sanitizing the Fresh Water System
Sanitize the fresh water system before you use it the fi rst time, when you
recommission your boat after winter storage, or when the system has not
been in use for an extended period of time.
Note: Fresh water tank must be empty before beginning sanitizing
process. Empty tank if necessary.
TO SANITIZE THE TANK:
1. Pour 10 ounces of household bleach for every 10 gallons of capacity
into the water tank.
2. Fill the water tank with fresh clean water.
3. Manually pump water throughout system.
4. When a steady stream of water is coming from the faucet, all air is out
of the system. Turn switch OFF after closing faucets.
5. Allow treated water solution to remain in tank for 3 to 4 hours.
6. Turn on water pump switch and pump all treated water solution from
tank and lines through all faucets.
7. Refi ll tank with fresh water and turn on pump to thoroughly fl ush entire
system with fresh water after each sanitizing.
Note: If fresh water tastes like chlorine after sanitizing, pour a solu-
tion of 1 quart vinegar and 5 gallons of fresh water into the tank and
CAUTION: Bleach causes eye and skin irritation. Notify all per-
sons on board the fresh water system is being sanitized. Do not
allow anyone to drink water from fresh water system while it is
being sanitized. In case of body contact, follow directions on
bleach container.
