8.3.8 Sanitation System
Before performing this procedure on the sanitation system, your boat
should be pulled from the water. Refer to the OEM information for more
information on winterizing the sanitation system.
Refer to 4.5 Sanitation System for a description of your boat’s sanita-
tion system.
There are two types of sanitation systems: the standard system and the
overboard discharge system.
8.3.8.1 Standard System
1. Empty the waste tanks as described in 4.5.2 Emptying the Waste
Tanks. Remove as much of the fresh water used in flushing the
tanks as possible.
You must use a nontoxic, non-alcohol, RV-type (pink) antifreeze in your
boat’s sanitation system. Using the wrong type of antifreeze can damage
the sanitation system. The repair of such damage is not included under
the terms of the Carver Limited Warranty.
2. Flush 4 gallons of nontoxic recreational vehicle antifreeze through
each toilet and allow it to remain in the waste tanks while the boat
is in storage.
3. When you remove your boat from storage and prepare to use it again:
a. Pour 5 gallons of fresh water through each toilet.
b. Empty the waste tanks as described in 4.5.2 Emptying the
Waste Tanks.
c. Charge the waste tanks by adding deodorizer. Use the brand of
deodorizer recommended by your Carver Dealer.
8.3.8.2 Overboard Discharge System
1. Empty the waste tanks as described in 4.5.2 Emptying the Waste
Tanks. Remove as much of the fresh water used in flushing the
tanks as possible.
