INTERIOR EQUIPMENT
8.1 Cabin and V-Berth
The V-berth in the cabin is equipped with removable cushions and storage below the cushions. There is storage
in sea bags on the port side and a magazine rack and rod holders on the starboard side.
Daylight and fresh air are provided to this area by an overhead opening hatch. Additional lighting is provided
by 12-volt lights. The lights and other cabin equipment are controlled by switches in a panel located near the
cabin door.
Access hatches to the equipment compartment, battery switches and electronics are located on the cabin
bulkhead.
CABIN DOOR AND HATCH
The sliding cabin door hatch is made of acrylic plastic and slides into a recess in the deck when opened. The
cabin door is hinged in the center and folds against the side of the cockpit. A lockable latch secures the door
in the closed position. There is a latch in the cockpit next to the door to secure it in the open position.
When opening the door, make sure you push the door against the side of the cockpit with enough pressure to
allow the latch to secure the door. It is very important that the cabin door is secured properly in the open or
closed position. The door could be damaged by the motion of the boat if it is allowed to swing free.
The door and hatch are made of acrylic plastic. Acrylic plastic scratches easily and can chip. Please refer
to the Routine Maintenance chapter for information on the proper care and maintenance of acrylic plastic.
8.2 Marine Head System
The marine toilet is located in the center of the V-berth. The flush water is supplied by a thru-hull fitting
located in the equipment compartment bilge aft of the cabin 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, pump to discharge the waste to the holding
tank, then close the inlet valve and pump the bowl dry. The waste remains in the holding tank until it is pumped
out by a waste dumping station.
HOLDING TANK
The holding tank is located in the bilge. 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 into the tank
vent and then overboard.
EMPTYING THE HOLDING TANK
When the holding tank is full it must either be pumped out by an approved waste dumping station through
the waste deck fitting or be pumped overboard with the macerator discharge pump, when legal to do so. To
operate the macerator discharge pump, open the ball valve at the thru-hull fitting
located in the equipment
compartment aft of the cabin bulkhead. Then activate the macerator switch until the tank is emptied. Release
the switch and close the discharge ball valve when pumping is complete.
