Marine Sanitation Devices
Livewell Pump, Raw Water Pump, and Filter
Once the water pump switch is ON, the water pump supplies water
under pressure to the raw water system. The filter keeps particles from
entering the pump reservoir. Check the filter periodically and clean if
necessary. A clogged filter may result in low water pressure to the
system.
Before servicing the filter, turn the water system switch OFF. To clean
the filter, remove screen and rinse with clean water. Replace and make
sure the O‐ring is seated properly when installing the cover.
Note: Refer to the water pump manual for detailed operation
and maintenance procedures.
Optional Sanitation equipment with the boat model can include a Porta‐
Potti (Figure 3.1).
Figure 3.1 Porta ‐ Potti
Note: See the owner’s manual supplied by the manufacturer for
safety precautions and for detailed operation, maintenance, and
winterizing procedures. The manual is in your owner’s packet.
The U.S. Coast Guard has also issued regulations requiring boats to have
a sanitation system on board to control pollution. Wastes are to be
stored in a holding tank or other device, such as a Porta‐Potti, until the
device can be pumped out and disposed of at a shore facility. Discharging
this waste overboard is prohibited in most jurisdictions. Check with the
Coast Guard regarding regulations in your area.
If your boat is equipped with the Vacufl ush® head, your waste system is
actuated by a HEAD or TOILET SYSTEM switch in the head. It uses fresh
water to minimize odor problems. To add water to the bowl, raise flush
lever until desired water level is reached. Add deodorizer before using
the head. The pedal at the base of the head evacuates waste and a
vacuum forces the waste to the holding tank.
VacuFlush Head
To flush, press flush lever sharply to floor until contents clear bowl. A
sharp popping noise is normal when the vacuum seal is broken. Hold
flush lever down for three seconds. If flush lever is accidentally released
before waste clears bowl, do not attempt to flush toilet again until
vacuum pumps stops running. A small amount of water should remain in
the bowl for flushing. Do not dispose of sanitary napkins or other
insoluble items in toilet. Do not leave VacuFlush® power on for
extended periods when away from the boat as this can cause damaging
over‐cycling if the bowl is not sealed.
