Fresh Water Cockpit Shower (Optional)
The fresh water faucet/nozzle is located at the transom, on the port side
of the dive platform, and is covered with a white rubber cap. First,
depress the fresh water switch located on the switch panel to the
forward position to activate the fresh water pump. Then, pull open the
cap and pull out the shower nozzle and hose.
Press the button on the nozzle to ensure proper operation (water spraying). When you are finished, stow
away the transom fresh water hose and cover the outlet with the white rubber cap.
See the section titled Fresh Water Pump for operating instructions before using this shower.
Head Waste System
WHAT IS THE LAW?
Congress enacted the Clean Water Act of 1972 (amended in 1987). This law
addresses a wide spectrum of water pollution problems, including marine sewage from boats in navigable
U.S. waters including coastal waters up to three miles offshore. The law further provides for "no
discharge" by boats operated in enclosed lakes and reservoirs or in rivers not capable of interstate
navigation. States may apply to the EPA to have certain other waters declared "no discharge zones" if
discharge of treated sewage would be harmful. In short, boats with installed toilets must have an
operable Coast Guard approved Marine Sanitation Device (MSD) designed to either hold sewage for
pump out ashore or for discharge in the ocean beyond the three mile limit, or to treat the sewage to
Federal standards prior to discharge.
All boats built since 1977 with installed toilets must have an operable approved type I, II or III MSD.
Since 1980, all boats (including those built before 1977) with installed toilets must have an operable MSD.
Both the U.S. Coast Guard and the Natural Resources Police can enforce MSD requirements.
Check with your local authorities, Coast Guard, local marina or your dealer for the rules and/or laws that
may apply specifically in your area.
Porta-Potti w/Filler Board
A porta-potti with a 2.8-gallon holding tank comes standard with the 24 Walk. With the filler board
installed over the porta-potti, this area converts easily into a sleeping berth. Before operating the porta-
potti head system, refer to the manual in your owner's packet supplied by the porta-potti manufacturer for
specific operating instructions. To operate the porta-potti system:
Set the portable toilet on its front side so the cap on the holding tank is in a vertical
position. Remove the cap and add SeaLand brand holding tank deodorant following the
instructions on the deodorant container. Replace the cap firmly.
Before using: Set the portable toilet in the upright position and remove the cap located
on the right, rear side of the fresh water tank. Fill with fresh water just below the neck of
the fresh water inlet. Depress the bellows pump to add water to the bowl.
After using: To flush, open the slide valve by pulling out the handle and press the
bellows pump one or more times. After flushing, close the slide valve by pushing the
handle.
Caution: Never add holding tank deodorant to the waste holding tank by pouring directly
into the toilet bowl.
Warning: Waste in the holding tank can form methane, an explosive gas. Use suitable
precautions when any maintenance is done to the sanitary system.
