foreign objects. Check this strained frequently for debris. Optional electric bilge
pumps with automatic float switches should also be checked for debris frequently.
26:00 HEAD AND DISPOSAL SYSTEMS
All Sabre yachts come equipped with a marine head and holding tank as standard equipment.
Optionally, a variety of systems are available with treatment units and overboard
discharge plumbing. Regulations for the waterways being traveled must be observed
concerning overboard discharge. Be aware of Federal, State and local laws. (Refer to I­
20 for the system in your boat)
26:01 HEAD UNIT AND HOLDING TANK: A 3/4" intake seacock must be opened before the head
unit can be flushed. A selector valve on optional system determines the flow of waste.
Be sure that the 1 1/2" discharge seacock is open when flushing overboard or into the
waste treatment unit. (Refer to Section 25:01 for the maintenance of seacocks.)
Open the flush water supply valve by raising the lever on the side of the pump cylinder.
The pump handle can now be pumped to flush the bowl clean. When pumping overboard, pump
five or six extra strokes to clean the discharge lines of any waste. When pumping into
the holding tank, a minimum amount of flushing water should be used in order to maximize
the capacity of the holding tank.
The supply valve should be closed during the last pumping strokes to empty the bowl. This
prevents water in the bowl from splashing out.
Both the intake and discharge seacocks must be closed when the boat is left unattended.
Do not discard paper towels, rags, matches, etc., in the toilet or clogging and damage of
the unit can result.
Refer to the owner's literature in the binder of manufacturer's information for complete
information on the operation, maintenance and winter storage of the head unit and any
optional equipment as well as Section 30:00 and I­21.
27:00 STOVE SYSTEMS
The galley system on Sabre yachts are installed as standard equipment. Optional
compressed natural gas (CNG) stoves are available. Read carefully the owner's manual
included in the binder of manufacturer's literature before operating the stove. The stove
has a potential for hazard if operated incorrectly, therefore, make sure that anyone who
uses it understands its operation.
27:01 ALCOHOL STOVES: The burners on an alcohol stove convert liquid alcohol into
gaseous alcohol which is then burned. This is done by passing the liquid alcohol through
a pipe across the center of the burner. Here a vaporizer, utilizing the heat from the
burner, converts the liquid fuel into a gas. The vaporizer must be hot to function and
this is why preheating the burner is necessary.
To burn with an efficient blue flame, alcohol stoves depend on a correct fuel/air
mixture. A yellow tip on the flame indicates too little air is being allowed to mix with
the alcohol. This ratio is adjustable by turning the burner flange with a pair of pliers
while the burner is lit until even rows of the blue tipped flames appear. (Refer to
manufacturer's literature)
Never leave the stove unattended when it is lit or still hot and always release pressure
from the fuel tank when not in use.
Small flames can easily be blown out and go unnoticed allowing liquid fuel to eventually
flow from the burner. For this reason, always cook with a high or medium flame.
CAUTION: NEVER REFUEL A STOVE WHILE THE BURNERS ARE STILL HOT. WHEN FUELING, ALCOHOL
VAPORS ESCAPE, IF THEY COME INTO CONTACT WITH A HOT BURNER THEY WILL IGNITE. ALLOW
BURNERS TO COOL TO THE TOUCH BEFORE FUELING.
