Plumbing Systems <br />
General <br />
The plumbing systems in your J/105 consist of fresh water, manual and electrical bilge pumps, <br />
and a Raritan head (toilet). This section will describe their locations and how they operate. <br />
<strong>Manual</strong> Fresh Water <br />
• Water Tank -‐ is made of polypropylene, is collapsible, and is simple to install. Simply <br />
attach the hose from the foot pump to the tank. <br />
• Optional Water Tank -‐ Part of the Systems Group package, this 20 gallon tank is made of <br />
rotationally molded polyethylene. Entire capacity may not be usable depending upon <br />
trim, loading, filling and draining points. Connected to it are the following hoses: a) fill <br />
hose -‐ located on the tank top and connecting to the deck water fill pipe; b) feed hose -‐ <br />
located along the tank bottom connecting the water system to the manual pumps; c) vent <br />
hose -‐ internal and leads under the sheer line into the bow compartment. <br />
Thru-‐Hulls & Seacocks <br />
All Seacock fittings are Forespar Marelon. For safety reasons, we recommend that you attach <br />
with wire or wire-‐tie an appropriate size tapered wooden plug in the vicinity of each of these <br />
fittings in the event of a hose or valve failure. The fittings each have valve-‐handles. To reduce <br />
confusion, remember the long end of the handle indicates the direction of flow. Please refer to <br />
the Seacock and Thru-‐Hull diagram for a complete layout of locations and sizes. <br />
Pump Systems <br />
Pumps are easy to maintain and just as easily forgotten...they always happen to seize up when <br />
you need them most. Consequently, take care to keep their screens clean and rubber <br />
gaskets/bellows working correctly. There is one manual and one electric bilge pump system <br />
installed standard in the J/105. Two pump intakes are located forward in the keel sump under <br />
the main cabin centerline floorboard. <br />
• <strong>Manual</strong> Bilge Pump: The manual bilge pump is installed on the cockpit wall and operated <br />
by opening the cover/handle and using an up and down manual pumping action. Bilge <br />
water exits the boat from the manual pump through the transom. <br />
• Electric Bilge Pump: is wired direct with an in-‐line fuse to the battery switch, so it is <br />
always "on." This useful feature helps eliminate any accumulation of water in the bilge. <br />
The switch is located near the electrical panel. The switch has three positions: ON, OFF, <br />
and AUTO for self tending when you are not on the boat. Bilge water exits the boat from <br />
the electric pump through a hose that loops up to a siphon break and then to the <br />
overboard through-‐hull fitting under the head sink. <br />
• Sink Drains empty directly overboard through a seacock fitting beneath the galley sink.
