The sanitation system contains two polyethylene waste
tanks. The forward tank is located beneath the forward
hatch in the salon. The aft tank is located below the aft
stateroom berth. The three systems that dispose of
waste are described below. The dockside discharge
system is standard.
Dockside Discharge
With the dockside discharge methods, waste is flushed
from the heads to the waste tanks where it is stored
until it can be transferred to a dockside pumpout sta-
tion. To empty the tanks:
1. Locate a dockside pumpout station.
2. Remove the forward waste tank deck plate labeled
"WASTE" using the cap removal tool supplied with
your boat. This plate is located on the starboard
sidedeck next to the dinette. Refer to the "Deck
Plates" portion of Section 9 for the location of this
plate.
3. Attach the pumpout vacuum hose to the "WASTE"
deck fitting. Because the transfer process uses a
vacuum action, there must be a secure connection
between the transfer hose and the deck fitting.
4. Activate the pumpout vacuum. The pumpout
vacuum transfers onboard waste to the dockside
holding station.
5. After all waste is removed, flush the waste tank by
pouring a few gallons of fresh water through the
"WASTE" deck fitting. Reattach the vacuum hose to
the deck fitting and activate the pumpout vacuum
again to remove the fresh water and any remaining
waste.
6. Replace the "WASTE" deck plate.
7. Remove the aft waste tank deck plate labeled
"WASTE" using the cap removal tool supplied with
your boat. This plate is located on the starboard
sidedeck just aft of the salon. Refer to the "Deck
Plates" portion of Section 9 for the location of this
plate.
8. Repeat steps 3, 4, 5, and 6 for the aft waste tank.

The WASTE deck plate is not
connected to the fitting and does
not float. Be careful that you
don’t drop the cap in the water
when you remove it.
If you do lose the plate, you can
order a replacement from your
Carver Dealer. WASTE deck
plates are dropped overboard
frequently enough that we
suggest you carry an extra in
your onboard spare parts kit.
