2870 WALKAROUND
Chapter 12:
INTERIOR EQUIPMENT
12.1 Marine Head System
This system is provided as optional equipment. The flush water is
supplied by a thru hull fitting and a raw water line. Before using, open
the inlet valve on the head and pump to wet the inside of the bowl. After
use, close the valve and pump to discharge the waste to the holding tank
or overboard.
Waste can be directed either into the holding tank or overboard, when
legal to do so. This is accomplished by an optional Y-valve located in
the bilge below the aft cabin berth.
In the overboard discharge position, the waste exits the boat
through a large thru hull fitting located in the bilge. The thru hull
fitting is equipped with a ball valve. Always open this valve
when the overboard discharge is selected and close it when the
holding tank is selected.
In the holding tank position, the waste is pumped directly into the
holding tank where it remains until it is pumped out by a waste
dumping station or the optional overboard macerator discharge
system.
IN MANY AREAS IT IS ILLEGAL TO FLUSH HEAD WASTE DIRECTLY OVERBOARD. VIO-
LATION OF THESE POLLUTION LAWS CAN RESULT IN FINES OR IMPRISONMENT. AL-
WAYS KNOW THE LAW FOR THE AREAS IN WHICH YOU BOAT. NEVER DUMP HEAD
OR HOLDING TANK WASTE OVERBOARD ILLEGALLY.
