22
To Operate the Macerator:
1. Make sure the macerator seacock is in the open position.
2. Press and hold the macerator switch located on the main battery panel. The macerator switch
is a momentary switch, which means that it needs to be pressed during operation.
3. When the tank is empty, stop pressing the macerator switch.
4. Return the macerator seacock to the closed position.
Dockside Pumpout
The dockside pumpout deck plate is located on the deck, under the port coaming cap, and is marked
with the ISO symbol WASTE. The dockside facility will have the proper connections / fittings to pump
the holding tank out.
Maintenance
Maintenance of the waste system will require you to check the fittings and hoses to make sure that
there are no leaks. If the system does require maintenance, or if you have any questions about the
servicing of your black water system (i.e. cleaning materials, safe deodorants to use for the system),
contact your local dealer. Quicksilver® recommends that you pump out the system before long
periods of non-use. If you are storing the boat during the winter, we recommend you winterize the
system.
Macerator Switch Location

Avoid inadvertent discharge of the black water system.
Always keep the macerator seacock closed when not in use.
The dockside pumpout deck plate does not have a chain
connecting the cap to the deck plate. Use caution not to
drop the deck plate cap into the water.
To Winterize the Waste System:
1. Empty the holding tank either via the macerator in an approved location or the dockside
pumpout.
2. Pump water through the system (via the toilet) to remove any residue waste.
3. Empty the holding tank again, removing all liquids.
4. Pour an environmentally safe antifreeze (Propylene Glycol based) in the toilet and pump
throughout the system.
Refer to the toilet manufacturer’s requirements for additional winterization procedures.
4. Bilge Pumps
Your vessel is equipped with two bilge pumps, with one located in the aft section of the boat, and the
second one located in the forward section of the boat. Access to the aft bilge pump is via the
motorwell access plate, while access to the forward bilge pump is through the bilge access hatch
located in the interior floor liner. Both bilge pumps are rated for 500 GPH, and are activated
