CHAPTER 11
11.1 MARINE VACUFLUSH HEAD SYSTEM
Waste discharge regulations vary by location. Check with local authorities.
The waste system aboard your boat employs freshwater and a
vacuum generator. The freshwater pump breaker and Vacuflush
breaker must both be on (DC panel) for the system to work. Further
controls are located on a panel in the head (shown).
Refer to the manufacturer’s manual for more details.
When the foot-pedal of the toilet is depressed, waste is drawn
through the vacuum generator to the waste tank. Tank capacity is
30 gallons, which may seem small, but since each flush requires
about a cup full of fresh water compared to the several quarts of
sea-water using a conventional marine pump-head, the capacity is
more than adequate and there’s no odor. Waste can be discharged two ways:
(a) Via the shore-side pump-out fitting on the starboard side-deck labeled WASTE using marina
facilities. To effectively remove all the waste from the holding tank using, be sure to first turn
OFF the vacuum pump system and step on the head flush pedal to remove all vacuum.
(b) Offshore beyond restricted waste disposal zones by (1) OPENING the large waste thru-Hull
discharge valve, accessible underneath the storage bag in the starboard pilothouse settee
locker (2) TURN & HOLD the switch in the Head to the right to activate overboard pumping using
the macerator pump. The control panel lights indicate the level of waste in the holding tank.
The level can be double-checked by viewing the dark waste line through the side of the semi-
transparent holding tank.
Before activating this discharge, check to insure
compliance with local regulations.
11.2 FRIDGE, FREEZER, ICEMAKER
The AC Panel 1 breaker for the Vitrofrigo DW 180 double-
drawer unit must be ON. The ice maker function, fridge
On/Off and temperature is controlled on the unit itself. Once
on, the unit will self-regulate. It can take awhile for
temperature to stabilize, particularly after initial stocking
with food and beverages. The icemaker is plumbed to the
General Ecology water purifier and wll turn off when the
ice bin is full. For further info and troubleshooting
procedures, refer to the Vitrofrigo Operatiing Manual.
11.3 KENYON TWO-BURNER CERAMIC COOKTOP
The galley cooktop aboard your boat is powered by
AC electricity. To use it, make sure the “COOKTOP”
breaker on the AC panel is ON and that a supply of
AC power is present.
This two-burner unit is unique in that it has flush-
mount, pop-up, heat-resistant rubber pot holders.
Do not leave the cooktop ON while
unattended.
