3.
Push the pump-out nozzle into the WASTE deck fitting and hold the nozzle securely to
create an airtight connection to allow the contents of the waste tank to be vacuumed out
of the holding tank.
4.
Follow the instructions at the pump out station to pump out the holding tank.
5.
To rinse the waste holding tank after emptying:
6.
Add a few gallons of fresh water through the WASTE deck fitting with the available
fresh water hose from the dock.
(DO NOT USE Mariah’s WHITE FRESH WATER
HOSE.)
7.
Reinsert the pump-out nozzle into the boat’s WASTE deck fitting and pump some more
liquid out of the waste holding tank.
8.
Repeat this procedure.
9.
When the tank has been pumped, check the Tank watch Monitor at the office station to
confirm your success; it should show a green light.
10.
Carefully remove the pump-out nozzle and place it back on the portable holding cart or
the pump-out station.
11.
Replace the deck fitting and tighten it down with the key.
12.
Return the key to the helm drawer.

Wipe up any spills on the deck and throw away the used disposable gloves and wipe up
rags.

DISCHARGING THE HOLDING TANK OVERBOARD
This method of discharging the holding tank should only be used in strict compliance with the law
.
A thorough
understanding of the laws and regulations of overboard discharge is mandatory
before discharging waste overboard. Generally, 3 miles from shore is legal. Confirm that the
S
EACOCK IS OPEN BEFORE OPERATING DISCHARGE PUMP (open is the normal
position)
1.
Open the hatch to the engine room. The macerator is mounted on the center forward
bulkhead. The waste seacock is mounted on the hull to the right of the macerator and
labeled WASTE. Confirm that the lever is in the
vertical position
to open the Seacock.
2.
Back at the office station, turn the macerator circuit breaker on and then flip the
MACERATOR switch to the UP position. The red light will come on.
3.
Watch the tank level monitor to confirm that the tank is empty (green light). Note: it may
take 10 min. or more to pump out a full tank.
4.
When finished, flip the macerator switch on the panel to the off or DOWN position.
5.
Note: It is easy to forget the macerator is running so keep a crew member there at all
times when dumping overboard and when the green light comes on shut down the
dumping operation. Sometime material can foul the sensor and prevent the green light
from coming on with the yellow light still illuminated. If this happens after 10 minutes of
operation, consider the tank empty. After a while the sensor may clear and will then
show green.
6.
If after several minutes of operation, the tank lights do not indicate the tank is being
emptied, there may be a clogged duck bill valve. Consult the video for procedures to
clear the duck bill valve.

USING THE SHOWER

The shower works like any domestic shower. Except that water drains into a small
holding tank and then is automatically pumped overboard. It is advisable to turn on the
