NFORMATION
The toilet pumps the waste water into a holding
tank.
Your boat is fitted with a waste holding tank. It is
emptied through the deck plate fitting marked
“WASTE.” Waste is pumped from the head through
a sanitary waste hose to the top portion of the tank.
A sanitary waste hose is attached to the bottom of
the tank, and runs to the dockside pump-out plate.
An overboard vent keeps the tank at atmospheric
pressure regardless of waste levels.
All the components of the waste system are made
of materials specially formulated to prevent odor
permeation. It is strongly recommended you
regularly add chemical to your tank by flushing it
through the head. The chemical helps to control
odor and break down the waste. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions on the chemical before
using.
A waste tank level monitor is installed to provide a
visual indication of the amount of waste in the tank.

Dockside Pump-out - This system directs all
waste to the holding tank. To clear the tank, you will
need to use the dockside pump-out services
provided at marinas or other facilities. To empty the
tank, a suction hose is connected to the “WASTE”
pump-out plate and to the dockside pump. The
WASTE pump-out plate is always located at a “high
point” on the boat. For the WASTE pump-out
connection, refer to
Section 4
, Water/Plumbing .
Macerator Pump
1 – Thru-Hull Fitting
2 – Macerator Pump
3 – “Y” Valve
The optional macerator system allows the
discharging of waste water directly overboard.
Refer to
Section 4
, Water/Plumbing for component
location. For additional operating information, refer
to the macerator operator’s manual supplied with
your Cobalt boat.

Avoid damaging the macerator unit. Do
not run the macerator dry. Running it
when there is no waste will shorten the
life of the system.
