CONGRATULATIONS
The Cutwater family has a passion for boating. We are committed to
continuous process improvement in all areas that aect our customer’s
satisfaction with our products and providing great customer service.
SAFETY
Safety is always a concern at Cutwater. Please read all manuals to ensure
that equipment is used in a safe manner. We highly recommend atten-
dance in a Coast Guard approved boating safety course. Such courses
are available from the Coast Guard directly or from boating organiza-
tions. Owners should have annual inspections to ensure that all safety
equipment is current.
Operating, servicing and maintaining
a recreational marine vessel can expose
you to chemicals including engine exhaust,
carbon monoxide, phthalates, and lead,
which are known to the State of California
to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. To minimize exposure,
avoid breathing exhaust, service your vessel
in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or
wash your hands frequently when servicing
this vessel. For more information go to
www.P65warnings.ca.gov/marine.

APPENDIX - POTABLE WATER SYSTEMS
The information contained in this appendix provides supplementary data about disinfecting a potable water system.
A SUGGESTED METHOD OF DISINFECTION
Perform the following steps in the order indicated:
a. Flush entire system thoroughly by allowing potable water to flow through it;
b. Drain system completely;
c. Fill entire system with a chlorine solution having a strength of at least 100 parts per million, and allow to
stand for one (1) hour. Shorter periods will require greater concentrations of chlorine solution. See Table I
d. Drain chlorine solution from entire system;
e. Flush entire system thoroughly with potable water;
f. Fill system with potable water.
Table I shows how much disinfecting agent is required to make up various quantities of 100 parts per million chlorine
solution.

Origin and Development of ABYC H-23, Water Systems for Use on Boats
ABYC H-23, Installation of Potable Water Systems for Use on Boats was first published in 1970. Revised editions
were published in 1974, 1983, 1996, and 2008. In 2014 the title was revised to H-23, Water Systems for Use on
Boats. The 2014 version is the work of the Hull Piping Project Technical Committee.
