Toilet and black water system
The following directions do not replace the instructions provided in the manufacturer’s
manual, delivered separately.
Toilet valves location
Each yacht bathroom is equipped with a marine W.C. which is manually operated. Each W.C. is
then linked to the inlet and outlet seacocks, through pipes made of white material specially designed
for that use. Besides, though not indispensable, both pipes have a wide bend facing upwards,
functioning as a siphon to prevent sea water from getting in.
The above-mentioned W.C. valves are located as follows (see page 121):
Fore bathroom. Located in the middle, between the fore cabin bed and the bathroom bulkhead:
•
inlet seacock ahead, in the middle of the hull;
•
outlet seacock abaft, a little bit to the starboard side;
•
the valve in between the two above-mentioned is the washbasin drain valve.
Starboard aft bathroom. Located between the bathroom and the access ladder, immediately
ahead of the starboard aft cabin door:
•
the closest valve to the bathroom bulkhead and the most ahead of the three installed is the
inlet seacock;
•
the most abaft one is the outlet seacock;
•
the valve in between the two above-mentioned is the washbasin drain valve.
Instructions for using the manual toilet
•
After checking that the toilet inlet and outlet seacocks are open, position the grey lever
on top of the toilet pump on the "full basin" drawing.
•
Operate the toilet pump at least 20 times.
•
Position the lever on the "empty basin" drawing and keep on pumping until the basin is
completely empty.
