Overboard Discharge:
The holding tank is above the water line and may also be
emptied overboard when NOT in U.S. Waters. By law,
NO overboard pumpout into sea water is allowed within
U.S. Waters. To empty the holding tank open the thru-hull
valve located in the lazarrett. It is important that every
member of the crew be informed on the proper use of the
marine toilet. The valves, openings, and pumps are small
and may clog easily. If the toilet clogs, it is YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY! Always pump the head for children,
so you can make sure nothing foreign is being flushed.
Caution – Never put paper towels, tampons, Kleenex,
sanitary napkins, household toilet paper, or food into the
marine toilet. Use only the special dissolving marine toilet tissue provided by AYC.
WATER SYSTEM
Fresh Water Tank
The fresh water tank holds 42 gallons in a single tank located under the forward stateroom mattress. Be
mindful of the amount of water you use while washing dishes and taking showers. To refill the tank, remove
the filler cap located on the port side forward. Attach the hose to the dock spigot and let run for a minute
before inserting into deck fitting. Avoid flushing debris from the deck into the tank opening. Please DO
NOT fill water and diesel at the same time!
Waste water from the sinks in the galley and head drains overboard through various thru-hulls located under
the sinks. The shower drain is pumped overboard by two 12 volt pumps with in-line fine mesh strainer.
Fresh Water Pump
The fresh water pump is located under the starboard
settee. Activate the pump at the electrical panel by
turning on the circuit breaker. If the water pump
continues to run for more than a few seconds, you are
either out of water or might have an air lock and need
to bleed the system by opening a faucet. If you run
out of water, SHUT OFF THE WATER HEATER on
the electrical panel, as serious damage can occur!
Water Heater
The water heater has a 6 gallon capacity tank, and
heats when connected to shore power or from the heat
exchanger when the engine is running. To use in the AC mode, turn on the water heater circuit breaker on
the electrical panel. The water will heat automatically when the engine is running.
Do not use the water heater if the water tank level is very low.
