Performance Yacht
The toilet pumps the waste water into a holding
tank.
Your boat is fitted with a waste holding tank. It is
emptied through the deck plate fitting marked
“WASTE.” Waste is pumped from the head through
a sanitary waste hose to the top portion of the tank.
A sanitary waste hose is attached to the bottom of
the tank, and runs to the dockside pumpout plate.
An overboard vent keeps the tank at atmospheric
pressure regardless of waste levels.
All the components of the waste system are made
of materials specially formulated to prevent odor
permeation. It is strongly recommended you
regularly add chemical to your tank by flushing it
through the head. The chemical helps to control
odor and break down the waste. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions on the chemical before
using.
A waste tank level monitor is installed to provide a
visual indication of the amount of waste in the tank.
Waste Disposal
Dockside Pumpout -
This system directs all waste
to the holding tank. To clear the tank, you will need
to use the dockside pumpout services provided at
marinas or other facilities. To empty the tank, a
suction hose is connected to the “WASTE”
pumpout plate and to the dockside pump. The
WASTE pumpout plate is always located at a “high
point” on the boat. For the WASTE pumpout
connection, refer to
Section 4

Macerator Pump
CAUTION
Avoid damaging the macerator unit. Do
not run the macerator dry. Running it
when there is no waste will shorten the
life of the system.
