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.
Holding Tank and Macerator Discharge Pump
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 optional macerator discharge
pump, when legal to do so. When the macerator discharge pump option is installed, the Y-valve
is used to select the waste deck fitting or the overboard macerator discharge pump.
To operate the macerator discharge pump, move the Y-valve handle to the macerator pump-out
position, open the ball valve at the overboard discharge thru hull fitting. Then activate the macerator
switch, located in the engine compartment, until the tank is emptied. Release the switch and close
the discharge ball valve when pumping is complete.
Maintenance
The head should be cleaned and inspected for leaks regularly. Periodically, remove the covers from
the holding tank vent and clean the vent of any debris. Be sure the covers are replaced securely
after cleaning. The covers help prevent foreign matter from contaminating vent system. If the vent
cover is damaged or lost it should be replaced as soon as possible.
An access hole behind the magazine rack in the cabin is provided for servicing the waste deck fitting
and vent hose connections. This is accessed by removing the magazine rack.
The holding tank should be pumped out and flushed as needed. Periodically add chemical to the
head and holding tank to help control odor and to chemically break down the waste. See the head
manufacturer owner’s manual for additional operating and maintenance information.
THE HEAD SYSTEM MUST BE PROPERLY WINTERIZED BEFORE WINTER LAY-UP. SEE
SECTION ON WINTERIZING.
