Parallel Battery Switch
’s allow
the starboard and port engine battery to
be combined should you find that the single dedicated battery has
insufficient charge to start the engine. That switch is found on the
battery panel above the DC electrical panel. Again, slide the bar so that
the parallel switch can be active. As soon as the engine(s) engage,
return the switch to the Off position.
MARINE HEADS
Blue Moon
’s heads are VacuFlush. Simply depress the lever below each
toilet bowl to evacuate the head. There is a Tank Tender that will
APPROXIMATE the level of the holding tank, it is critical to be aware
how close each tank is to being full.
The forward head has a ___ gallon holding tank, while the aft head has
a ___ gallon holding tank. Overfilling either one can cause serious
damage, clogging vent lines or worse. It is strongly recommended that
you empty the holding tanks every other day.
Holding tanks can be emptied at a Marine Pump Out Station.
Remove the Waste Caps located on the port side of Blue Moon. One is
adjacent to the fuel cap, the other just aft of there. Insert the pump-
out nozzle into the waste opening and hold the nozzle firmly against
the deck to allow for a tight seal. Marina staff will usually then turn on
the pump-out system to empty the holding tank. Once emptied,
replace the Waste Cap and move to the next tank.
NOTE: If possible, when fresh water and time permits, rinse each tank
by running fresh water into the tank for about two minutes, then
repump. This helps to eliminate head odor.
