INTERIOR EQUIPMENT
8.1 Head Compartment
PORT LITE
The port lites are secured by cam action locks. The locks should be adjusted so they are tight enough to seal
the windows in the closed position, but not so tight that they break the plastic. The cam locks are adjusted
by turning the two allen head bolts located at the base of each cam lock. The screen must be removed prior
to closing the port lite to ensure a water resistant seal.
MARINE HEAD SYSTEM
A marine head system is provided as standard equipment. The flush water is supplied by a thru-hull fitting
and a raw water line located in the bilge. Before using, open the inlet valve on the head and pump to wet the
inside of the bowl. After use, pump to discharge the waste to the holding tank, then close the inlet valve and
pump the bowl dry. The waste remains in the holding tank until it is pumped out by a waste dumping station.
HOLDING TANK
The holding tank is located in the aft bilge. Monitor the waste level in the holding tank and have it pumped
out before it is completely full. If the holding tank is allowed to overfill, the waste will overflow out the tank
vent and then overboard.
EMPTYING THE HOLDING TANK
When the tank is full it must either be pumped out by an approved waste dumping station through the waste
deck fitting or be pumped overboard with the macerator discharge pump, when legal to do so.
To operate the macerator discharge pump, open the discharge ball valve located in the bilge. Then activate
the macerator switch, located on the DC panel in the head compartment, until the tank is emptied, and release
the switch.
THE MACERATOR DISCHARGE PUMP CAN ONLY BE RUN DRY FOR A FEW SECONDS.
ALLOWING THE MACERATOR PUMP TO RUN AFTER THE HOLDING TANK IS EMPTY
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PUMP.
IN SOME WATERS YOU CAN BE FINED FOR HAVING AN OPERABLE DIRECT OVER-
BOARD DISCHARGE OF WASTE. TO AVOID A FINE, REMOVING THE SEACOCK
HANDLE, IN THE CLOSED POSITION, OR OTHER MEANS MUST BE USED.
MAINTENANCE
The head should be cleaned and inspected for leaks regularly. Periodically add chemical to the head to help
control odor and to chemically break down the waste. See the manufacturer owner’s manual for additional
operating and maintenance information.
