Head with Dockside Discharge (Optional)
This optional head system includes the same type of porta-potti described above but it has a 5.2-gallon
holding tank. Follow the same instructions as shown above to operate the porta-potti system.
To utilize the dockside discharge feature, first locate the waste outlet. It is a stainless steel fitting, labeled
waste and it is located amidships on the port gunwale. Twist the waste outlet cap to open the fitting and
insert the hose provided by the marina into the waste outlet to connect to your marina’s dockside service
facilities. Follow the instructions provided by the marina to operate their equipment.
Warning: Waste in the holding tank can form methane, an explosive gas. Use suitable
precautions when any maintenance is done to the sanitary system.
Sea Water System
Baitwell Pump
The baitwell switch at the helm controls the baitwell pump, which is mounted on a seacock under the
starboard access panel on the berth in the mid-cabin. Raw water for the baitwell tub comes through the
seacock, to the baitwell pump and then to the baitwell tub.
Before turning the pump on from the helm, check to
be sure that the seacock is open. The seacock is
wide open when the yellow seacock lever is vertical
to the bottom of the hull. When the yellow seacock
lever is horizontal to the bottom of the hull, the
seacock is closed. The seacock should remain
closed when the baitwell pump is not in use.
Baitwell pump, shown with seacock closed, is located
in the bilge below the mid-berth. The hose on the
lower port feeds raw water to the washdown pump.
To operate the baitwell pump, locate the baitwell
switch on the console and press the switch to the
forward position to turn on the pump.
When the baitwell pump is operating, go to the baitwell tub, open the baitwell lid and visually check to see
if water is pumping into the tub through the aerator fitting. This will ensure that the baitwell pump is
working properly. The hose that goes from the baitwell pump to the baitwell tub is routed behind the
starboard aft wall of the mid berth. To turn the baitwell pump off, press the baitwell switch to the aft
position. You should always turn the baitwell switch off at the helm if the pump is not going to be used
soon.
The 20-gallon capacity baitwell tub is located at the starboard aft
corner of the cockpit and comes equipped with an aerator head, a
stand pipe and a baitwell light.
If you find it necessary to run the baitwell pump while you are
underway, you may be forcing more water than necessary up
through the seacock. In this instance, adjust the seacock lever to
a 45
o
angle so that the seacock is only halfway open. The
seacock lever may require additional adjustments to find a setting
that works best for you.
