Fresh Water Switch

On my 2015 188 SunDeck Sport there is a fresh water switch right up under the accessory switch on the right hand side of the steering wheel.   I can not figure out what this is for.  Anybody have any idea what it is for and how to use it?

thanks,

    That switch activates a water pump that supplies water for a fresh water washdown system located in the stern of the boat.

    It would look like this:



    Your galley sink might also have the option of being pressurized by the same pump, otherwise the boat comes standard with a manual pump for the sink.

    If you don't have either option and you don't hear a pump running when you activate the switch, you probably don't have the option even though the dash panel has the switch on it.

    If you do have it and don't hear the pump, it may have failed. If water freezes in it, bad news. Which reminds me... I need to get some antifreeze in mine, pronto (I had to replace mine most likely due to freezing before I owned the boat).
