Not sure how you plan to hard plumb fresh water to a head system, but pre-cautions need to be taken to prevent potential contamination of the fresh water system.

Ahoy.....I had plumbed my last boat with a fresh water intake. I am 
convinced it reduced oder. I am planing to do the same with my #245 320. 
Just put a t fitting on raw water intake, and hose to sink, connect t 
fittings....make sure to keep head raw intake thru hull 
closed.....worked well on previous c 30....Joe
