operate when it is not pumping water can damage it.

Your boat is equipped with one garboard 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 garboard
drain. The drain is located in the transom in the deep-
est portion of the hull's “V."
Make sure the garboard drain plug is securely screwed
into the garboard drain before launching the boat.
Your boat’s sanitation system includes the forward and
aft heads, forward and aft waste tanks, and an optional
overboard waste discharge system. When properly used,
this system conforms to all United States antipollution
laws.
The two types of toilets available for your boat are
described below. The electric, fresh water toilet is
standard. 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 toilets.
Electric Toilet
Electric toilets use either fresh water or seawater to
flush.
If the toilets use fresh water, there must be water in the
fresh water tanks or your boat must be connected to
shore water before the toilets can be flushed.
If the toilets use seawater, you must open the seacocks
for the toilets before they can be flushed. The forward
toilet’s seacock is located beneath a hatch in the galley
