To operate the bilge pumps manually, press the Forward and Aft Bilge
Pump switches, located at the helm, to their up position. This activates
the two bilge pumps.
4.4.2 Hull Drain
Your boat is equipped with one hull drain. The drain allows water to
drain from the bilges while the boat is in dry storage. The boat and cradle
should be positioned to allow water to flow toward the hull drain. The
drain is located in the transom in the deepest portion of the hull’s “V.”
Make sure the hull drain plug is securely screwed into the hull drain
before launching the boat.
A Tip From Carver!
Coat the threads of the hull drain plug with waterproof grease before you install
the plug into the hull drain fitting. This makes it easier to remove the plug at a
later date.
4.5 Sanitation System
Your boat’s sanitation system includes the head, waste tank, and the
optional overboard waste discharge system. When properly used, this
system conforms to all United States antipollution laws.
4.5.1 Toilet
The toilet uses either raw water (standard) or fresh water (optional) and
an electric pump to remove waste from the head. If you have guests who
are unfamiliar with marine sanitation systems, instruct them on how to
properly use the toilet. Refer to the OEM information for details on
operating the toilet.
To operate the toilet system:
1. Provide water to the toilet:
For a raw water toilet, open the seacock that supplies seawater to
the toilet. The seacock is located in the engine room near the for-
ward outboard corner of the port engine.
For a fresh water toilet, either make sure there is sufficient water in
the fresh water tank or connect the fresh water system to shore
water.
