NOTICE
It is normal for the stored vacuum to leak down slightly between flushes, causing the vacuum pump to run
for a short period. The pump should not run more than once every three hours after the last flush for recharging
the system. A holding tank fluid level monitor and macerator pump-out switch is located in a panel near the
toilet. Please refer to the head manufacturer owner’s manual for more information on the operation of the
marine head system.
HOLDING TANK
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 holding 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 pump, open the ball valve at the thru-hull fitting accessed by removing the bottom
drawer of the vanity in the head. Then activate the breaker on the cabin DC panel until the tank is emptied.
Turn off the breaker and close the discharge ball valve when pumping is complete.
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 SO THE
OVERBOARD DISCHARGE SYSTEM IS NOT OPERABLE.
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.
THE HEAD AND MACERATOR DISCHARGE SYSTEMS MUST BE PROPERLY WINTERIZED
BEFORE WINTER LAY-UP. SEE THE SECTION ON WINTERIZING.
8.3 Cabin
A V-berth is located in the bow area of the cabin. There are storage compartments under the V-berth. The
hanging locker is located aft of the berth. Daylight and fresh air are provided to this area by an overhead
opening hatch. Additional lighting is provided by 12-volt lights.
A microwave oven may be provided as optional equipment. The microwave operates on AC power and is
protected by the microwave breaker in the AC breaker panel. Please refer to the microwave owner's manual
for detailed information on the microwave oven installed in your boat.
