Quicksilver 675BR — System & Component Overview and Operation

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.
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 Pump
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 part of the boat. Access to the aft bilge pump is via the motorwell
access plate, while access to the forward bilge pump is through an access plate in the head storage
area. Both bilge pumps are rated for 500 GPH, and are activated automatically by a built in mercury
free float switch when the water in the bilge reaches a predetermined level. You can also manually
operate the bilge pump at the dash by pressing the bilge pump switch.
Inspect the bilge pump intakes and keep them free of dirt or material which may impede the flow of
water through the pump. To clean the pump strainer, depress the lock tabs on both sides of the pump
and lift the pump motor.
If water does not come out of the discharge hose:
1. Remove the motor module to see if the impeller rotates with the power on.
2. Remove any debris that may have accumulated in the nozzle section or strainer base.
Dockside Pumpout
The dockside pumpout deck plate is located on the port side bussel and is marked with the ISO symbol
WASTE. The dockside facility will have the proper connections / fittings to pump the holding tank out.
Check the function of all bilge pumps at regular intervals.
Clear pump inlet from debris.
The bilge pumping system is not designed for damage
control.
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.
