seacock is kept open, except when the boat is unattended. By opening/closing valves located on
either side of a "TEE" commonly referred to as the “Y valve” in the discharge line, effluent can be
sent overboard or to the holding tank. Ensure that you are complying with the Coast Guard
requirements for your area.
NOTE:
Before shifting to the holding tank, close the overboard discharge valve and then open the
holding tank line valve.
The sequence for operating the toilet is as follows:
1. Pump, slowly, until bowl is nearly exhausted. Normally this will require three to six pumps.
2. Open the intake through-hull fitting located just outboard beside the seat.
3. Flush completely by pumping at least thirty times.
4. Close the intake through-hull fitting.
5. Pump to nearly exhaust the bowl. This will take about five or six full strokes.
CAUTION
: Do not leave the intake valve open. The valves in the pump may have a slight leak-
through, and the bowl may overflow with seawater.
H. The Propane System
A normal propane system on your Tayana 42 consists of two 20-pound tanks located in the
propane locker in the cockpit that has an overboard drain for fumes, A regulator for pressure
regulation, a manifold to switch between tanks, and a solenoid to remotely shut off the gas flow to
the galley are also located in the locker. The gas line to the stove in the galley should be inspected
regularly and chafe protection should be used where the line runs through the bulkheads. Make
sure there is a proper flexible hose from the solid gas line to the stove to allow the stove to gimbal
freely.
To light the stove:
1. Check that burners are OFF.
2. Open the tank valve.
3. Switch solenoid to ON to allow the flow of propane to the stove.
4. Light the stove
To shut off the stove:
1.
Always first shut off solenoid
to allow gas in line to burn out.
2. When flame on burner goes out, shut burners off.
3. Close tank valves.
CAUTION
: Propane is heavier than air and will settle in the bilge in the event of a leak, so
maintain the system carefully, as a fire or explosion at sea would be a bad day. The purchase of a
propane alarm to place in the bilge may be a wise investment.
