If there is a fresh water hose on the dock, rinse the tank by adding about 2 minutes
worth of water into tank. Then pump out again to leave the tank rinsed for the next
charterer. This also helps eliminate head odors.
In Canadian waters the tank contents can be discharged overboard with the
MACERATOR. If you choose to do this, instructions for opening the Y-VAVLE
and operating MACERATOR follow.
Y-VALVE
The Y-VALVE directs waste effluent
into the sanitation-holding tank or
flushes the effluent directly overboard.
The Y-VALVE is located behind the
fuel panel in the engine room. It can
be accessed via the aft hatch in the
salon. A plastic tie keeps the handle
pointed “TO HOLDING TANK” – the
normal position.
The Y-VALVE is wire-tied to the
holding tank position by Coast Guard regulations. Please leave it “as is” unless
there is an emergency. Be familiar with the applicable laws concerning dumping
overboard.
Dump Overboard: (where permitted)
To discharge the contents of the holding tank overboard:
1.
Turn the Y-VALVE so it is pointing towards the “Waste Overboard”
discharge line
2.
Open the thru-hull valve located on the starboard side of the holding tank. It
is also marked “Waste Overboard”
3.
Turn ON the MACERATOR PUMP on the DC power panel. Listen for the
macerator’s sound. When the pitch becomes higher, the tank is empty. Watch
for bubbles coming out from under the boat on the starboard side. It should
only take a few minutes (4 max) to empty the tank. Do not run it too long as it
will burn out! Usually it will be necessary to stop the engines to hear the
sounds
