Seacocks
Seacocks are of the ¼-turn type:
- OPEN position: handle in line with seacock body,
- CLOSED position: handle perpendicular to seacock body.
ATTENTION!
● Never interfere with the tightening of the seacocks to the hull. In the event of a leak,
consult a professional.
● In bad weather or when leaving your boat, close all the sanitation system seacocks. ●
Keep seacocks closed when not being used.
● During wintering, clean and rinse the seacocks and skin-fittings. Inspect brass fittings;
slight surface corrosion is normal.
● In the event of more serious corrosion, consult your agent.
Operation of the sea toilets
- Open the sea-water inlet seacock.
- Open the bowl emptying seacock.
- Set the lever to the “FLUSH” position.
- Operate the pump.
- To empty the bowl and avoid any water slopping when heeling, set the lever to the “DRY BOWL”
position.
- Operate the pump until the bowl is dry.
- Repeat these flushing / emptying operations as many times as is necessary to ensure complete
emptying of the pipes.
When toilets are not being used, set the lever to the «DRY BOWL» position, or the «CLEF» position
for certain models.
- Close seacocks after use, as the toilet is below the waterline.
- Change the toilet seals regularly.
Holding tank operation
ATTENTION!
Where a holding tank is fitted, take care to lock the discharge valve, to avoid any accidental
discharge during wintering.
- The waste water tanks (50 L with an additional 50 L optional) operate using the toilet hand pump.
- The contents of the toilet pan are discharged straight into the holding tank;
- Periodically check that the vent is working properly.
- A deck plate is provided for emptying the tank
- The discharge valve can be sealed in the closed position.
- Once a season, arrange to clean out the tank using a biodegradable disinfectant chemical. Leave the
system empty if the vessel is to be left in below-freezing temperatures
