5. After all grey water is removed, flush the grey water tanks by pouring
a few gallons of fresh water through the “WASTE” deck fitting. Reat-
tach the vacuum hose to the deck fitting and activate the pumpout
vacuum again to remove the fresh water and any remaining grey
water.
6. Replace the “WASTE” deck plate.
4.6.2 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 over-
board in restricted areas are subject to significant penalties.
With the overboard discharge method, grey water is stored in the grey
water tanks until you enter an area where it is legal to pump the grey water
directly overboard. Or, you can still use a dockside pumpout station to
empty the grey water 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/grey water selector Y-valve so that its handle points to
the grey water hose. The Y-valve is located in the engine room on the
starboard forward bulkhead.
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.”
6. Turn the overboard discharge pump switch “ON.” The switch is located
near the Y-valve. Refer to the “Engine Room” portion of Section 9
for the exact location of this switch. This activates the overboard dis-
charge pump, which pumps the grey water overboard.
