CONGRATULATIONS
The Cutwater family has a passion for boating. We are committed to continuous
process improvement in all areas that affect 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 equip-
ment is used in a safe manner. We highly recommend attendance in a Coast Guard
approved boating safety course. Such courses are available from the Coast Guard
directly or from boating organizations. 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.

Boats. The 2014 version is the work of the Hull Piping Project Technical Committee.
