Overboard Discharge (Optional) – If you have selected this
optional system, your boat is equipped to offer you the
option of using either dockside or overboard discharge to
pump out the waste tank. Before using the overboard
discharge system, be sure to check with your local
authorities, Coast Guard, local marina or your dealer for the
rules and/or laws that may apply specifically in your area.
You can check the waste level in the waste tank by
monitoring the lights on the Tank Watch 4 panel, which is
located next to the AC/DC panel. As waste enters the tank,
the lights will change to indicate the waste level (i.e., green
for empty, yellow for low, orange for mid level or red for
full).
To operate the overboard discharge system, first make sure that the DC main, fresh water, macerator and
head switches on the AC/DC panel are all in the on position. Then, turn the key on the Tank Master 4
panel to the “automatic” position. The green light will come on indicating that the system is working and
waste will begin pumping overboard via one of the thru hulls located amidships on the side of the hull.
Once the tank level reaches the “low” level in the tank, the green light will go out and the system will turn
off. You will need to turn the key to the manual position to complete the pump out process.
If the system does not seem to be pumping properly (water should shoot out approx. 10 feet via the thru
hull), check for leaks, loose clamps, etc. Remove the starboard wall panel in the mid mirth cabin to
access the holding tank. Then, check the hose connection to be sure that there is no leak.
Refer to the manual in your owner's packet supplied by the manufacturer of the VacuFlush system for
specific operating instructions.
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 (800 gph), which is
mounted on a seacock in the bilge area. The baitwell pump and seacock are
accessible through the bilge hatch. Raw water for the baitwell tub comes
through the seacock, to the baitwell pump and then to the baitwell tub.
The
hose on the lower port feeds raw water to the washdown pump.
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
as shown in the photo to the right. When the yellow seacock lever is
horizontal, the seacock is closed. The seacock should remain closed when
the baitwell pump is not in use.
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. 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.
