 Head and Holding Tank:  

  

 

Please do not put anything in the toilet 
that has not been eaten

.  Experienced 

sailors deposit toilet paper in a 
wastebasket, not down the toilet because 
paper tends to clog the system.  The 22 
gal. holding tank is located behind door 
behind the toilet and thru-hull valve is 
under the head sink. 

 

There is a level indicator light for the 
holding tank above door behind the toilet 
but it does not go on until the tank is 
almost full.  Don’t wait until it is full to 
pump out!  To operate the macerator, 

turn 

on the macerator breaker on the 
electrical panel then open the thru-hull 
(the yellow handle rotates counter-
clockwise to be in-line with the hose.

 

Then push the switch on the left side of 
the head sink vanity.

  You should be able 

to hear the macerator noise change when 
the tank empties.   
 
A new electric toilet was installed in 2019.   

The “head” breaker on the electrical 

panel must be ‘on’ to operate. 
 

(see shower section below for details about 
the head shower and swim platform 
shower).
