INTERIOR EQUIPMENT
10.1 Head Compartment and
Marine Toilet
The head compartment is equipped with a sink
with a hot and cold faucet. There is a shower
with a removable shower head. The shower head
is equipped with a valve that allows the shower
water to be turned on and off without affecting
the temperature to conserve water while shower-
ing. The shower sump is always activated when-
ever the house battery switch is on. A teak seat
over the toilet that is held open and closed with a
gas spring is provided to make showering more
comfortable. There also is a shower curtain that
goes in front of the head door. Make sure the
shower seat is down and the curtain is pulled across
the head door before activating the shower.
There is storage above the vanity and behind the
door under the sink. Ventilation is provided by air
conditioning and exhaust blower ducts above the
vanity. There is also a 12-volt overhead light and
120-volt G.F.I. duplex outlet. The light and ex-
haust blower are activated by switches near the
sink.
Marine Head System
Your boat is equipped with a VacuFlush marine
head system as standard equipment. VacuFlush
systems use a small amount of water (one pint to
one quart) and vacuum which is generated by the
12-volt vacuum pump to flush. The toilet is con-
nected to the pressurized fresh water system.
Using fresh water results in less odor in the head
compartment.
To use the toilet, make sure the Electric Head and
the Water Pump breakers on the cabin DC panel
are on. Then add water to wet the bowl by de-
pressing the foot activated flush lever slightly un-
til the desired water level is reached. Flush the
toilet by activating the flush lever all the way for
approximately three seconds or until contents clear
the bowl. A sharp popping noise is normal when
the vacuum seal is broken and flushing action be-
gins. It is also normal for a small amount of water
to remain in the bowl after flushing.
The waste is transferred into the holding tank
where it remains until it is pumped out by a waste
dumping station or the overboard macerator dis-
charge system. The waste moves through a one-
inch opening in the toilet base. Incoming air frag-
ments the waste as it passes through the base
opening. This process eliminates the need for
macerators or mechanical motors in the toilet base.
The vacuum generator is mounted on the holding
tank and contains stored vacuum. System vacuum
is monitored by a vacuum switch which is located
on the vacuum generator tank. When the switch
senses a drop in vacuum in the system, it auto-
matically signals the pump to energize and bring
the vacuum back to operating level. This process
is normally completed in less than two minutes.
It is normal for the stored vacuum to leak down
slightly between flushes, causing the vacuum
pump to run for a short period. The pump should
not run more than once every three hours after
the last flush for recharging the system. A hold-
ing tank fluid level monitor and macerator pump
out switch is located near the sink. Please refer
to the toilet manufacturer owner's manual for more
information on the operation of the marine head
system.
