INTERIOR EQUIPMENT
10.1 Head Compartment and Marine Toilet
The head compartment is equipped with a sink, hot and cold faucet that converts to a shower by
pulling the faucet out of the base. A special seat folds down over the toilet to make showering
more comfortable.
Storage is in the vanity over the counter top and behind the door under the sink. Daylight and
ventilation is provided by an opening port light above the sink. There is also a 12-volt overhead
light. An AC G.F.I. duplex outlet is provided next to the door below the sink.
Marine Head System
Your boat is equipped with a VacuFlush marine head system as
standard equipment. VacuFlush systems use a small amount of
water (one pint to one quart) and vacuum which is generated by
the 12-volt vacuum pump to flush. The toilet is connected to the
pressurized fresh water system. Using fresh water results in less
odor in the head compartment.
To use the toilet, make sure the “Electric Head” breaker on the cabin DC breaker panel is on.
Then add water to wet the bowl by depressing the foot activated flush lever slightly until the
desired water level is reached. Flush the toilet by activating the flush lever all the way for
approximately three seconds or until contents clear the bowl. A sharp popping noise is normal
when the vacuum seal is broken and flushing action begins. It is also normal for a small amount
of water to remain in the bowl after flushing.
The waste is transferred into the holding tank where it
remains until it is pumped out by a waste dumping
station or the overboard macerator discharge system.
The waste moves through a one-inch opening in the
toilet base. Incoming air fragments the waste as it
passes through the base opening. This process elimi-
nates the need for macerators or mechanical motors in
the toilet base.
