Water System Part Deux

Still working on the water system...



I wanted to replace the hose connected to the water tank, but first had to drain all the water out. This was accomplished by letting the water pour into my bilge. Yes I intentionally dumped water into the bilge! It was a good test for that automatic bilge pump I installed. Let's hope I never have to use it so much again.



Here is the shiny new hose connected to the tank. It's the smaller one in the background. The large hose in the foregound is the water intake. It comes from an inlet on the deck. You can barely see the old hose (black) coiled up in the top part of the picture. It was getting pretty old an needed to be replaced.



Here is my "new" water heater. I had to take out the old one because it wasn't rated for the electricity of my boat. This one holds about 2 gallons of hot water and runs off of AC power.


Here I'm putting together the shutoff valve that will be between my water tank and water pump. It's good to have new water hoses in the boat. You don't want to know what the old ones looked like.
