WASTE SYSTEMS
General Guidelines
The waste systems on all legacy boat models are considered portable or Type III. It is the operator’s responsibility to
discharge any waste safely and legally. Please see the following paragraph for some general guidelines.
Federal law says that untreated sewage can NOT be discharged in inland or coastal waters. This means the sewage from a
portable toilet or a Type III holding tank cannot be discharged unless you are in the ocean more than 3 miles offshore.
Operating in a federally designated “No Discharge Area” further restricts what sewage you can discharge overboard. In
these areas, there is no treated sewage discharge allowed from boats. That means if you have a Type I or II MSD, you are
not allowed to discharge it while in those waters. There is a trend towards more local waters being designated as No
Discharge Areas, so if you rely on using your Type I or II MSD, check a cruising guide before venturing into new waters.
This national symbol is used to show boaters where onshore pump out services are located. You’ll need to know this symbol
if you use a portable toilet or Type III MSD (holding tank) on your boat.
2102 and 2302 Legacy
The 2102 and 2302 have an optional portable toilet. These models do not come equipped with any waste holding systems.
2602
The 2602 can come equipped with an optional portable toilet or an optional ceramic gravity flush toilet. The ceramic gravity
flush toilet does not include any sub deck holding system and will need to be pumped out directly from the toilet if the
overboard pump out option is not selected. The waste is stored in a tank located directly below the toilet.
