What this video covers
Installing a SeaWater Pro modular watermaker on a C&C 39 requires custom plumbing and component placement to maximize limited storage space. The installation involves mounting a boost pump on the engine room bulkhead and a high-pressure pump on a custom-built platform over the propeller shaft area.2:10 To simplify maintenance, the system includes a T-valve for pickling and vibration isolators under the high-pressure pump to reduce noise and improve access to the oil drain plug.10:02 The crew routes hoses through bulkheads to connect 5-micron and 20-micron filters, a charcoal back-flush filter, and a freshwater flush timer.6:51 Because the system lacks a factory remote panel, the installer mounts gauges and controls directly into a cabin bulkhead.12:31 The final output connects to the existing water tank fill line using a spliced PVC fitting.14:28 The completed system produces 20 gallons per hour at 800–900 PSI, drawing approximately 1,000 watts through a 3,000-watt inverter powered by solar panels.16:24
