J/111 OWNER MANUAL 45
•
A yellow lable with black lettering is included in proximity of the pump panel with a message similar to the
following:
NOTICE:
BILGE PUMP SWITCH MUST ALWAYS BE LEFT IN THE “AUTO” POSITION.
•
Bilge water exits the boat from the electric pump through a hose that loops up to a siphon break and then
to the overboard seacock hull fitting outboard of aft port settee backrest.
Safety caution: Owners MUST leave the three position pole switch on the bilge pump panel (located in the
nav station) in the AUTO position in order for the bilge pump to perform properly. Bilge pumps do wear out
and the pump manufacturer, Whale Water Systems, Inc., recommends replacing the bilge pump every
three years. Please refer directly to pump manuals and/or web site information for more about best
practices and maintenance of this component. Finally, it is prudent seamanship to carry replacement parts
for all onboard pumps.
Warning the bilge pumping system is not designed for damage control. The combined capacity of the
system is not intended to drain the craft in the case of accident or damage.
•
Sink Drains empty directly overboard through seacock fittings beneath both the head and galley
sinks.
Head System
The standard J/111 is equipped with one certified Raritan PHII marine head which is capable of discharging
effluents into the standard 45 liter (12 gallon) holding tank or overboard. The system is easy to operate and
with correct usage and proper maintenance, will provide many years of use.
IMPORTANT - Owners should
familiarize themselves with all local and federal regulations regarding proper discharge and avoid
inadvertent discharge at all times. A Y-valve is fitted to the discharge line in order to direct the
discharge flow to either the holding tank or overboard. It is shipped from the factory bolted into place
such that the flow defaults into the holding tank.
Before operating the HEAD , ensure you have read its manual thoroughly and understand the proper
procedures. Silly mistakes can cause severe “head” aches at the worst possible time!. And a word to the
wise
PLEASE TRAIN YOUR GUESTS ON HEAD OPERATION. NEVER ASSUME THEY KNOW HOW TO
USE IT.
The head is a large pump which takes in seawater and flushes waste into the holding tank or overboard.
The water intake and discharge seacocks are located under the head sink. Remember the open/closed
positions on these thru-hulls. It is good seamanship to close both the intake and discharge seacock when
not in use.
When seawater and effluent are pumped through the head, they’re pumped into the holding tank by the
action of pumping the toilet handle. The waste discharge fitting on deck is provided so a Shoreside pump-
out station can empty the tank. Care should be taken not to overfill the holding tank as effluent can block the
vent hose and may damage the tank... or worse, burst the hose. If the toilet is difficult to pump, check to
see if the holding tank is overfilled. “When in doubt, pump it out!” A great resource for understanding and
maintaining a marine head system is a book called “Get Rid of Boat Odors” by Peggie Hall - Seaworthy
Publications.
