Fresh Water System
The water tank fill deck plate is located on the opposite side of the fuel fill deck plate.
DO NOT put fuel in the water tank or water in the fuel tank.
The components of the water system consists of:
• Water Tank
• Water Heater
• Pressure Pump
• Water Fill Plate
• Transom Shower
• Piping
• Cockpit Sink (Corsair 36)
• Galley Sink
• Head Sink
• Shower
• Tank Level Meter
A fresh water deck fill is located on the side of the boat and clearly marked WATER. Actual location
and physical appearance of the fill plate may vary from model to model, but it is clearly labeled.
The water pressure pump (Figure 3-22) is a pressure-demand type pump. When energized the pump im-
mediately pressurizes the water system. When the operating pressure is reached the pump shuts off until
it senses a loss of pressure, such as a faucet being opened, at which time it is automatically re-energized.
If the pump cycles on and off without a faucet being opened it may indicate a pressure leak in the system
or excessive air in the system. Bleed the system of air by opening all faucets until only water is flowing
from each. If a leak is present, or suspected, find and repair the leak.
A fresh water filter is attached to the pump (Figure 3-22) and should be checked and cleaned on a
regular schedule. The pump and filter is located in the engine compartment.
When air enters the system it becomes necessary to purge it for proper operation. To bleed the system of
air, follow the steps outlined in “Using the Fresh Water System” on page 3-27.
