Where can I tap in to the plumbing to add a shore water connection to my 1985 Hunter 34, and do I need a check valve to keep the pressure from backing up into the pump and tanks? I'm looking to attach to the cold water line of the cockpit shower a PO installed in the bulkhead starboard of the pedestal.

if you add that to your boat you will also have to add an overboard discharge line for your hot water heater pressure relief valve and that has to be plumed with a hose that is suitable for below the water line use along with a through hull mushroom fitting and double clamp the hoses ...as far as the water tank is concerned you will need a shut off valve where the water comes out of the tank....a word of caution here ...you can sink your boat if you leave the dock water supply turned on and unattended..... theses things are not real popular ...but people do use them ...so do a little research before you start ......
The PO of our boat installed one of these in the coaming on the port side. It's just outside and above the AC electrical inlet.
There is a water line from the rear tank to the port tank in there that he tee'd into. It also has a hatch that was installed from below in the aft berth.

even though this is a very good article on installing an onboard water system...this has no relevance to the PO original question .......at least after reading that advisor i could not find any .....

woodster, didn't know what he knew or didn't know about the entire system. Thought it might help.
that is a good article and you are correct in what he may not know ...my contribution was only about the dockside water hook up ...so between the two of use he should have a set of references
as always thanks
