Owners Handbook 10
Sullage Holding Tank
All new SW1000XL2’s have a 130 liter (34.3 usgal) sullage tank built into the port
hull transom above the water line. All sullage from the toilet goes directly to the
holding tank. A Y-valve on the holding tank discharge may be set to “deck” for deck
pump or “sea” for gravity flow to sea. The Y valve should normally be set to “sea”.
The sea discharge has a further stop valve to hold the sullage while in harbor or
restricted marine area. The sea discharge stop valve may be opened in an
unrestricted discharge area to flow to the sea. These valves are located through the
hatch in the compartment behind the toilet.
Grey Water Tank
All SW1000XL2 built to Survey Option from 2005 have a 62L(16.4G) Grey Water
Tank built under the port main bunk. All Galley, Shower and Vanity grey water is
pumped to this tank by operating the drain switch. To drain the Shower the plug
must be in the vanity basin. A Y-Valve under the tank selects Deck or Direct
discharge of the waste water.
Bilge Pumps
The portable manual bilge pump on a Seawind 1000XL2 is stored under the port
seat of the cockpit dinette.
Boats operating under charter are fitted with an additional pump in each hull. The
port hull pump is located in the companion way and handle under main bunk. The
starboard pump is located in the forward galley area and handle in the waste
cupboard. Regular inspection of the pumps is advised to ensure that they are in
good order. In an emergency situation these pumps are among the most important
equipment onboard your boat and should be maintained properly.
L.P. GAS & WATER HEATER:
The L.P.(Liquid Propane) Gas system in your Seawind 1000XL2 has been installed
by a licensed L.P. Gas fitter and a compliance certificate issued. A metal
compliance plate is riveted onto the rear beam as a permanent certificate. This
plate identifies the date of fitting and the licensed fitter who installed the system.
There is a 4.5 kg bottle located each side of the Targa Bar under the teak seats.
These can be removed for re-filling by simply loosening the nut and bolt and lifting
the bottle of its base plate.
After using any L.P. Gas appliance, shut-off the supply by turning the in-line tap to
90° to the direction of the line. When leaving your boat it is advisable to turn off the
L.P. Gas supply at the bottle as well.
For boats fitted with a gas Hot Water System – there is a fan that will switch on
whenever the fresh water pump is activated. The purpose of this fan is to provide
positive pressure in the hot water compartment – thus improving the flueing of
combustion gasses.
We strongly recommend that a licensed L.P. Gas professional regularly checks the
system. Certain countries have their own specific regulations and maintenance
procedures. It is important that you familiarise yourself with these procedures.
