1990 2700 scr plumbing - Maxum Boat Owners Club

Hey Folks!!!

wondering if I could get the plumbing in my boat explained.
I have a stern mounted shower, head, shower and sink in the cabin.

I was told the head pulls water straight from the lake, but I am unsure of that.
I do see an inlet ( brass fitting) on the bottom of the boat.

I have not been able to make the showers work. Any help on this would be great

Yes, the head draws water from the bottom of the boat after you turn the ball valve to the on position. Always shut the valve off when you are leaving the boat for a day or more.

Do you have the owner's manual for your boat. Many of these things are explained in it. Send me a note if you need one and I can PM you one in PDF format.

There is one pump that operates from the switch (located on the right side of the galley counter beside the fridge). That switch must be on for the pump to move water from your fresh water storage tank to the stern shower, the head shower, the vanity sink and the kitchen sink.

Jim cover it well, just make sure the freshwater tank has water in it.

Ok. What is the purpose of the hole in the bottom of the boat. Has a brass cover on it

As mentioned earlier, that is the water intake for the head.

That intake allows water to run into your head (when you pump the head) through a water pipe inside the boat. That pipe has the ball valve on it (valve is located on the right side under your companionway step and as mentioned you must turn the lever on for water to enter then turn if off when you leave the boat).

You don't seem to have a good handle on your boat plumbing system. Perhaps a visit with a seasoned power cruiser or a local marine dealer would be of great assistance.

West Marine has articles on plumbing and even sell a book on it.

Send me a private message, and I will send a pdf file of the manual to you. It's too large for this site.
