Your 240 Outrage has a head compart-
ment located on the port side of the
console. It is fitted with a Porta-Potti
waste containment system that in-
cludes: The Porta-Potti unit, vent and
associated hoses and clamps. The Porta-potti sys-
tem has a lower tank and an upper tank. Waste is
directed to the lower section of the tank which has a
holding capacity of 2.8 gal. (10.6L).
Complete operating and maintenance instructions can
be found in the sani-potti operations manual.

Both intake and discharge seacocks should always
be in the closed position when the toilet is not in use.
Failure to do so could result in flooding, property dam-
age and loss of life.
CAUTION
This boat is equipped with an optional direct discharge
valve. Discharging of sewage directly overboard is
for use where approved only.
NOTICE
There are severe state and federal penalties for dis-
charging raw sewage and solid waste in waters where
it is not permitted. Check with local authorities on
where this is permissible, if possible employ the use
of a shore side discharge.

MACERATOR (Optional)
The 240 Outrage waste system can also incorporate
the use of a macerator. The macerator pump draws
solid and liquid waste from the holding tank of the
unit and processes it prior to discharging it overboard
through a seacock.
The pump is designed to handle waste, toilet tissue
and facial tissue and will not pump solid objects. The
dockside facility will have a connection to fit your
boat. It is important that you close your macerator
discharge seacock on the 240 Outrage prior to using
the shoreside discharge function.
There are bodies of water where discharge of raw
sewage is prohibited.
Contact your dealer or Coast Guard station for infor-
mation on overboard discharge and its penalties.
MACERATOR OPERATION:
The macerator key switch panel is located on the
forward section of the console cabin. The key switch
controls the macerator pump. The raw water intake
seacock and and the overboard discharge seacock
must be in the OPEN position prior to operation. The
key must be turned and held for the macerator to
operate properly.
MAINTENANCE:
After long periods of non-use, the macerator pump
may not turn freely. Regular use of the system will
reduce the chances of this occuring. If the system
does require maintenance contact your nearest dealer
for more information. Because your porta-potti sys-
tem is a low water use device, there is special paper
that must be used to prevent clogs. The manufac-
turer has provided information regarding the type of
paper that must be used.
NEVER use residential tissue paper in your marine
waste system.

SHORE SIDE DISCHARGE:
The shoreside discharge deck plate for the 240 Out-
rage is located on the starboard side of the gunwale
and is marked WASTE. Access to the port is gained
by use of a special key that is included in the owners
manual packet. The dockside facility will have a con-
nection to fit your boat.
Shore side discharge is a
preferred method of waste disposal.
