11.4 Head System Holding Tank
The holding tank is located in the bilge below the
cockpit floor or in the aft storage compartment.
The fluid level in the holding tank must be moni
-
tored frequently to ensure the tank does not be-
come overfilled. When full, the tank must either
be pumped out by an approved waste dumping
station through the waste deck fitting or the op
-
tional overboard discharge pump.
The fluid level in manual head systems is moni
-
tored by looking at the tank. The tank is trans-
lucent, making the fluid inside visible. A bright
flashlight shined on the tank may be required to
see the fluid level.
The fluid level on electric head systems is moni
-
tored by LED lights in the toilet control panel.
When the tank is full, the red LED light on the
panel will be lit, indicating that flushing is not
recommended.
To pump out the holding tank with the overboard
waste discharge system, open the valve at the
discharge thru-hull fitting in the forward bilge or
aft storage compartment and activate the mo-
mentary switch in the Overboard Discharge switch
panel. Monitor the fluid level closely as the tank
is pumped. Release the switch and to turn off the
discharge pump when pumping is complete, then
close the ball valve at the thru-hull fitting.
NOTICE:
Monitor the pumping operation as the over-
board discharge drains the holding tank. Be
prepared to turn the pump off immediately
when draining is complete.
NOTICE:
In order to comply with current State,
Federal and Coast Guard regulations, the
Overboard Discharge Valve must be off and
secured with a lock or wire cable tie strap
whenever the boat is operating in areas in
which the discharge of sewage is prohibited.
CAUTION
IN MANY AREAS IT IS ILLEGAL TO PUMP HEAD WASTE
DIRECTLY OVERBOARD. VIOLATION OF THESE POLLUTION
LAWS CAN RESULT IN FINES OR IMPRISONMENT.
ALWAYS KNOW THE LAW FOR THE AREAS IN WHICH YOU
BOAT. NEVER DUMP HEAD OR HOLDING TANK WASTE
OVERBOARD ILLEGALLY.
Head System Maintenance
The head should be cleaned and inspected for
leaks regularly.
The holding tank should be pumped out and
flushed as needed. Periodically add chemical
to the holding tank to help control odor and to
chemically break down the waste. Refer to the
head manufacturer owner’s manual for additional
operating and maintenance information.
The vent hose for the holding tank is equipped with
a charcoal filter to reduce odor from the holding
tank. The filter should be changed once a year or
if the holding tank has become overfilled, which
will plug the filter and could cause damage to the
waste system.
NOTICE:
The head system must be properly winter-
ized before winter lay-up. Please refer to
the Seasonal Maintenance chapter and the
manufacturer owner’s manual for winter-
izing instructions.
