Standard and optional sanitation equipment varies with the boat
model. These options include a Porta-Potti (Figure 3.4), and a
VacuFlush
® system with holding tank and optional macerator
(Figure 3.5).
The marine sanitation device (MSD), or head, installed on your
Robalo boat stores the waste in an onboard holding tank. The pre-
ferred method to empty the tank is by using a dockside pump out
station designed for sanitary removal of the waste.
If you empty the holding tank overboard, the optional macerator
grinds waste material into small particles as it empties the holding
tank. The only time you will use the macerator is when you empty
the holding tank overboard.
Note: See the owner’s manual supplied by the manufacturer for
safety precautions and for detailed operation, maintenance, and
winterizing procedures. The manual is in your owner’s packet.
The U.S. Coast Guard has also issued regulations requiring boats to
have a sanitation system on board to control pollution. Wastes are to
be stored in a holding tank or other device, such as a Porta-Potti,
until the device can be pumped out and disposed of at a shore facil-
ity. Discharging this waste overboard is prohibited in most
jurisdictions. Check with the Coast Guard regarding regulations in
your area.
If your boat is equipped with the Vacuflush ® head, your waste system
is actuated by a HEAD or TOILET SYSTEM switch in the head. It
uses fresh water to minimize odor problems. To add water to the
bowl, raise flush lever until desired water level is reached. Add
deodorizer before using the head. The pedal at the base of the head
evacuates waste and a vacuum forces the waste to the holding tank.
To flush, press flush lever sharply to floor until contents clear bowl.
A sharp popping noise is normal when the vacuum seal is broken.
Hold flush lever down for three seconds. If flush lever is accidentally
released before waste clears bowl, do not attempt to flush toilet
again until vacuum pumps stops running. A small amount of water
should remain in the bowl for flushing. Do not dispose of sanitary
napkins or other insoluble items in toilet. Do not leave VacuFlush
®
power on for extended periods when away from the boat as this can
cause damaging over-cycling if the bowl is not sealed.
Make sure all guests understand the operation of the VacuFlush
®
sys-
tem and that the instruction label is easy to read and in plain sight.
Refer to your VacuFlush
®
manual for complete information about the
operation of the system.
