remove the fresh water and any remaining grey water.

Overboard Discharge
NOTE: It is against the law to discharge grey water overboard in some areas of
the United States. It is your responsibility to make sure that you are in compliance
with all applicable Federal, state, and local laws when using your boat’s overboard
discharge system. People who discharge grey water overboard in restricted areas are
subject to significant penalties.
With the overboard discharge method, grey water is stored in the grey
water tank until you enter an area where it is legal to pump the grey water
directly overboard.
To empty the tank:
1. Open the forward waste tank overboard discharge seacock. The seacock is
located beneath the forward hatch in the salon. Refer to Section 9 - Interior
Hatches for the location of this hatch.
2. Turn the waste/grey water tank selector Y-valve to the grey water tank
position. The Y-valve is located beneath the forward hatch in the salon. Refer
to Section 9 - Interior Hatches for the location of this hatch.
3. Turn the accessory battery bank master disconnect switch to the
“ON” position.
4. Switch the Main - One circuit breaker on the Safety Breaker Panel “ON.”
5. On the DC Control Center, switch the System DC Main circuit breaker
“ON,” then switch the Forward Waste Pump circuit breaker “ON.”
6. Turn the forward waste pump switch “ON.” The switch is located near the
overboard discharge seacock. This activates the waste pump, which pumps the
grey water overboard. The pump is located beneath the forward hatch in the
salon. Refer to Section 9 - Interior Hatches for the location of this hatch.
When the grey water tank is empty, turn the waste pump “OFF.”
Operating the waste pump when the grey water tank is empty can
damage the pump.
7. After all grey water is pumped overboard, turn the forward waste pump
switch “OFF.”
8. Remove the grey water tank deck plate labeled GREY WATER using the
removal tool supplied with your boat. This plate is located on the port side
deck next to the galley. Refer to Section 9 - Deck Plates for the location of
this plate.
