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 overboard 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 located in the engine room
just aft of the starboard fuel tank. Refer to 9.7.4 Engine Room for
the exact location of the seacock.
2. Turn the waste tank selector Y-valve and grey water tank selector Y-
valve to the grey water tank position. The Y-valves are located in the
engine room near the starboard forward bulkhead. Refer to 9.7.4
Engine Room for the exact location of the Y-valves.
3. Turn the “house” battery bank master disconnect switch to the “ON”
position.
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-valves. Refer to 9.7.4 Engine Room for the exact
location of this switch. This activates the overboard discharge pump,
which pumps the grey water overboard.
When the grey water tanks are empty, turn the overboard discharge
pump “OFF.” Operating the pump when the grey water tanks are empty
can damage the pump.
7. After all grey water is pumped overboard, turn the overboard dis-
charge pump switch “OFF.”
8. Remove the grey water tank deck plate labeled “WASTE” using the
removal tool supplied with your boat. This plate is located on the
Open Closed
