Head/Holding Tank
-
C&C 27s have a manual marine toilet emptying into a 20 gallon holding
tank located forward under the v-berth port side. Plan on 3 gallons/per person /per day capacity
which means pumping out approximately every other day on an extended trip.
Please follow the steps below for proper head use
(instructions also next to head)
1)
Open seacock for intake
2)
Move wet/dry bowl selector left to
flush
(
towards handle
) and pump handle to add
water to the bowl prior/following use.
3) Move wet/dry bowl selector right to
dry
bowl (
away from handle
) after flushing and
continue to pump until toilet bowl is empty.
3)
Leave wet/dry bowl selector in dry bowl position when toilet is not in use to avoid filling
of toilet. Close seacock for safety. Pump after bowl is empty about 6 times to clear line
Flush/Dry lever
(in Dry position)
Precautions
ONLY flush organics down toilet. No toilet paper or paper of any kind. Instead, discard in ziplock
bags in the garbage.
Anytime handle will not flush do not force! May be plugged or worse, holding tank is overfilled. IF
VENT HOSE PLUGS UP, FORCING PUMP HANDLE MAY BUST OPEN FITTINGS. Tank is
hard to access so plan routine pump-out stops to avoid overfilling.
Remember!!
You are responsible for bringing the boat back empty after an overnight charter. Please comply with
club rules and pump out tank before docking at home. Thanks!
