4.5.2.2 Overboard Discharge
NOTE: It is against the law to discharge waste overboard in many 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 waste overboard in
restricted areas are subject to significant penalties.
In certain coastal areas of the world it is legal to discharge the waste from
your boat’s waste tanks into the sea. To accommodate this procedure Carver
offers an optional overboard discharge system for your boat. This system is
available only on boats that are exported or used in the coastal areas of the
United States.
With the overboard discharge system, waste is flushed from the toilets to
the waste tanks where it is stored. Where it is legal, you can then empty the
waste tanks directly overboard. If overboard discharge is not legal where
you are, you can either wait until you reach an area where it is legal or use
a dockside pumpout station to empty the waste tanks.
To empty the tanks:
1. Open the overboard discharge seacock. The seacock is located in the
starboard aft corner of the aft bilge. Refer to the “Aft Bilge” portion of
Section 9 for the exact location of this seacock.
2. Turn the waste tank selector Y-valve so that its handle points to the
starboard waste tank hose. The Y-valve is located in the engine room
on the starboard forward bulkhead. Refer to the “Engine Room”
portion of Section 9 for the exact location of this valve.
3. Turn the “house” battery master disconnect switch to the “ON” posi-
tion.
4. On the Safety Breaker Panel, switch the Main - One circuit breaker
“ON.”
5. On the DC Control Center, switch the Systems DC Main circuit breaker
“ON,” then switch the Waste Pump circuit breaker “ON.”
