Interior Equipment
Holding Tank and Overboard Discharge Pump
The holding tank is located in the bilge below the
aft berth. A gauge near the flush button moni -
tors the fluid level in the tank. Do not flush the
toilet when the gauge reads full. When the gauge
needle reads in the red zone, the tank must either
be pumped out by an approved waste dump-
ing station through the waste deck fitting or be
pumped overboard with the macerator discharge
pump, when legal to do so.
A switch panel with a key activated lockout is
located in the compartment below the sink. The
overboard macerator discharge pump and dis-
charge valve is in the bilge below an access hatch
that is under the aft berth cushion. The pump
discharges holding tank waste to a thru-hull fitting
in the hull below the waterline.
To operate the overboard discharge pump, make
sure the thru-hull valve in the bilge is open. Then
turn the key switch in the panel to the ON posi-
tion. Press and hold the momentary button next
to the key switch to activate the pump. Use the
gauge to monitor the fluid level in the holding tank
as it is pumped out. When pumping is complete,
release the button, close the pump out thru-hull
valve and turn the key switch OFF. Remove the
key from the switch and store in a safe location.
Notice:
Monitor the waste level in the holding tank
as the overboard discharge pump drains
the tank and turn the pump off immediately
when draining is complete. The macerator
discharge pump will be damaged if it runs
dry for more than a couple of seconds.
Notice:
In order to comply with current State, Fed-
eral and Coast Guard regulations, the lockout
key switch must be off and the key removed
whenever the boat is operating in areas in
which the discharge of sewage is prohibited.
CAUTION
IN MANY AREAS IT IS ILLEGAL TO FLUSH HEAD WASTE DIRECTLY
OVERBOARD. VIOLATION OF THESE POLLUTION LAWS CAN
RESULT IN FINES OR IMPRISONMENT. ALWAYS KNOW THE LAW
FOR THE AREAS IN WHICH YOU BOAT. NEVER DUMP HEAD OR
HOLDING TANK WASTE OVERBOARD ILLEGALLY.

Maintenance
The head should be cleaned and inspected for
leaks regularly.
The holding tank should be pumped out and
flushed as needed. Always add chemical to the
holding tank to help control odor and to chemically
break down the waste. See the head manufac-
turer owner’s manual for additional operating and
maintenance information.
To reduce odor in the cabin, never allow waste
to remain in the holding tank for more than one
week. Make sure to add fresh water to the holding
