If your boat is equipped with the VacuFlush®  head, your waste system 
is actuated by a HEAD or TOILET SYSTEM switch in the head. It uses 
fresh water to minimize odor problems. To add water to the bowl, raise 
fl ush lever until desired water level is  reached.  Add deodorizer before 
using the head. The pedal at the base of the head evacuates waste and 
a vacum forces the waste to the holding tank.

To  fl ush,  press  fl ush lever sharply to fl oor until contents clear bowl. A 
sharp popping noise is normal when the vacuum seal is broken. Hold 
fl ush lever down for three seconds. If fl ush lever is accidentally released 
before waste clears bowl, do not attempt to fl ush toilet again until vacuum 
pumps stops running. A small amount of water should remain in the bowl 
for fl ushing. Do not dispose of sanitary napkins or other insoluble items 
in toilet. Do not leave VacuFlush® power on for extended periods when 
away from the boat as this can cause damaging overcycling if the bowl 
is not sealed.

Make sure all guests understand the operation of the VacuFlush® system 
and that the instruction label is easy to read and in plain sight.

Refer to your VacuFlush®  manual for complete information about the 
operation of the system.

Gray Water System

If your boat is equipped with a Gray Water System, all your drained wa-
ter from sinks will go to a gray water holding tank. Chaparral boats are 
equipped to have gray water pumped out at the marina. (Figure 3.4)

Overboard Discharge

Important: Overboard discharge of untreated sewage within 12 
miles of shore on the east coast and within 9 miles of shore on the 
west coast is prohibited by law. Check with the local authorities for 
proper discharge procedures in your area. If your boat is going to 
be used on inland waters, have your dealer seal the overboard dis-
charge portion of your waste system.

If regulations permit, the macerator can be used to pump waste from the 
holding tank overboard. The MACERATOR circuit breaker at the battery 
selector switch panel protects the power suppy to the macerator The 
macerator pulls the waste from the holding tank, grinds the waste into 
small particles, and pumps the waste overboard through a hull discharge 
fi tting above/below the water line.

Follow these procedures to operate the macerator:

1. Switch on the MACERATOR switch in the head compartment.

2. Allow the macerator to run until the holding tank is empty, but not lon-

ger. 

Running the macerator when the tank is empty will cause 

damage to the pump.

3. When you hear the pump speed up (indicates tank is empty), immedi-

ately turn the switch off.

Note: If the macerator won’t  turn on, check the circuit breaker at 
the  battery  switch panel.  If resetting the  breaker  doesn’t allow the  
macerator to  turn  on,  see your  dealer  to  determine the cause of 
the problem.
