In the overboard discharge position, the waste exits the boat
through a large thru-hull fitting located on the side of the
hull. Selecting overboard will only pump the waste from the
toilet directly overboard, this will not pump out the holding
tank.
In the holding tank position, the waste is pumped directly
into the holding tank where it remains until it is pumped out
by a waste dumping station.
Note: In many areas it is illegal to flush head waste di-
rectly overboard. Violation of these pollution laws
can result in fines or imprisonment. Always know
the law for the areas in which you boat. Never
dump head or holding tank waste overboard ille-
gally.
Holding Tank
The holding tank is located in the bilge area. When the tank
is full it must either be pumped out by an approved waste
dumping station through the waste deck fitting.
Maintenance
The head should be cleaned and inspected for leaks regularly.
The holding tank should be pumped out and flushed as needed.
Periodically add chemical to the holding tank to help control
odor and to chemically break down the waste. See the head
manufacturer owner’s manual for additional operating and
maintenance information.
Important: The head system must be properly win-
terized before winter lay-up. Please re-
fer to the Seasonal Maintenance chapter
and the manufacturer owner's manual for
winterizing instructions.
