Interior Equipment
Holding Tank, Vacuum Pump and
Overboard Macerator Pump
The holding tank should be pumped out and
flushed as needed. Periodically add chemical
to the head to help control odor and to chemi-
cally break down the waste. The macerator and
vacuum pumps should be sprayed with a metal
protector periodically to reduce corrosion. See 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.
Note: The head system must be properly
winterized before winter lay-up. See
the manufacturer owner’s manual for
additional operating and maintenance
information.
10.2 Galley and Sink
The galley is equipped with storage and a fresh
water sink with hot and cold faucets. Water is
supplied to the sink by a 12-volt pump located in
the engine room. When activated by the Water
Pump breaker in the cabin DC panel, the water
system will operate much like the water system in
a home. An automatic pressure sensor keeps the
system pressurized. The sink drains overboard or
to the optional grey water holding system through
the cabin sink drain system. See the Fresh Water
System chapter for more information on operating
the fresh water system.
The sink counter tops are made of Karadon. Stor -
age drawers, a built-in slide out waste basket and
the refrigerator are located below the sink and
counter top. A removable Karadon insert for the
sink provides additional counter top space for the
galley. Always make sure this insert is properly
seated in the counter top recess before operating
the boat.
A microwave oven, coffee maker and additional
storage is built into the cabinets above the sink.
Daylight and fresh air is provided to this area by
an opening port window and an opening overhead
hatch. Additional lighting is provided by 12-volt
lights recessed in the head liner above the gal-
ley.
Cabinet Door and Drawer Latches
The cabinet doors and drawers in the cabin are
Galley
secured with dual action, push to lock latches. To
open a drawer or cabinet door, push on the latch
knob. The knob is spring loaded and will pop out
one inch, providing a finger hold and releasing the
dead bolt on the latch mechanism. A slight pull is
required to release the friction latch and open the
door. The cabinet doors and drawers will be held
closed by the friction latches while at anchor or
at the dock. To close and secure, make sure the
door is completely closed and push the knob in.
The knob will stay in and the locking mechanism
will be activated.
The knobs should be pushed in to activate the
positive lock dead bolts whenever the boat is
underway.
