INTERIOR EQUIPMENT
8.1 Head Compartment
The head compartment is equipped with a sink and a 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.
An opening port light above the sink provides daylight and ventilation. There is also a 12-volt overhead light.
An AC G.F.I. duplex outlet is provided by 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 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” switch 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 eliminates the need for
macerators or mechanical motors in the toilet base. When the tank is full, the tank monitor will show full and
the vacuum pump will not run.
The vacuum generator is mounted on the holding tank and contains stored vacuum. System vacuum is
monitored by a vacuum switch which is located on the vacuum generator tank. When the switch senses a drop
in vacuum in the system, it automatically signals the pump to energize and bring the vacuum back to operating
level. This process is normally completed in less than two minutes.
It is normal for the stored vacuum to leak down slightly between flushes, causing the vacuum pump to run
for a short period. The pump should not run more than once every three hours after the last flush for recharging
the system. A holding tank fluid level monitor and macerator pump-out switch is located in a panel near the
toilet. Please refer to the head manufacturer owner’s manual for more information
on the operation of the marine head system.
HOLDING TANK
The holding tank is located in the compartment behind the center storage hatch.
Monitor the waste level in the holding tank and have it pumped out before it is
completely full. If the holding tank is allowed to overfill, the waste will overflow
out the tank vent and then overboard.
