Bilge Pumps
are both electrical and manual. Two pump intakes are located in the bilge under
the main cabin floor just forward of the galley, with a third intake attached to a coiled hose in the
aft cabin area or head depending on the layout. This is long enough to reach the bilge and
qualifies under ORC cat 2.
•
The
Manual
pumps are operated from the cockpit and from the aft cabin to starboard (or
head).
•
Electrical Bilge Pump
is wired to an independent switch on a recessed panel adjacent to
the nav station.
Head System
The J/145 is equipped with a certified marine head which is capable of discharging effluents into a holding
tank or overboard. The system is easy to operate and with correct usage and proper maintenance, will
provide many years of use.
Before operating the
HEAD
, ensure you have read its manual thoroughly and understand the proper
procedures. Silly mistakes can cause severe “head” aches at the worst possible time! And a word to the
wise
PLEASE TRAIN YOUR GUESTS ON HEAD OPERATION. NEVER, NEVER ASSUME THEY KNOW
HOW TO USE IT!!
The head is a large pump which takes in seawater and flushes waste into the holding tank or overboard.
The salt-water intake thru-hull is underneath the head sink and the discharge is in the port aft locker.
Remember open/closed positions on these thru-hulls. It is good seamanship to close the intake and
discharge seacock for the head when not in use.
When seawater and effluent are pumped through the head, they’re pumped into the holding tank by the
action of pumping the toilet handle. The waste discharge fitting on deck is provided so a shoreside pump-
out station (i.e. vacuum cleaner) can empty the tank. Care should be taken not to overfill the holding tank
as effluent can block the vent hose and may damage the tank... or worse, burst the hose. If the toilet is
difficult to pump, check to see if the holding tank is overfilled. When in doubt, have the tank pumped out.
The holding tank must be pumped out before winter storage. Dumping a quart of anti-freeze through the
heads will prevent the seals and equipment from cracking. The following hoses are connected to the tank.
•
Waste Discharge Hose from the head
•
Pump-out Hose leading to the deck fitting
•
Vent Hose to vent the tank overboard.
