the PUMP LEVER to the ‘right’ (dry bowl). Pump to remove water from the bowl. Flush
sufficiently to move effluent in the hoses; heavy effluent may clog hoses. Clean the toilet as
necessary.
Should the toilet pump handle squeak or stick, it needs to be lubricated. Put a couple of squirts of
‘pump lube’, salad oil, or dish soap into the toilet. Pump the toilet dry slowly, to draw the lube into
the handle unit.
The TOILET TRU-HULL is located under the sink if you need to shut off the water to the toilet.
Clean the toilet as necessary. If the toilets pump handle squeaks or sticks squirt ‘pump lube’ into the
toilet and pump the toilet slowly to draw the lube into the pump unit. The ‘pump lube’ is located
behind the mirrored cabinet.
Holding Tank
The sanitation HOLDING TANKS holds approximately 25 gallons each.
Be aware of the rate of waste production. (about 1 gallon per flush)
With an overfilled tank, it is possible to break a hose, clog a vent, or
burst the tank. The result will be indescribable catastrophe and an
EXPENSIVE FIX to you. Empty the tank every other day to avoid this
problem.
The aft HOLDING TANK is located under the floor in the galley. The
forward HOLDING TANK is located under the bed in the forward
cabin. Some may be subject to a visual check with a flashlight or the
“watermelon” test by thumping it. There is a tank watch warning light
located in each head but do not rely upon this as they often get clogged.
The holding tank is emptied in one of two ways:
#1 At the Marine Pump out Station, Remove
the WASTE CAPS located: Aft port side and
Fwd STBD side. Install the pump out deck
fitting, located in aft storage compartment.
Attach the pump-out nozzle onto the deck
fitting. Double-check your deck fitting! Turn
on pump and open valve located on handle.
When pumping is finished, close lever on
handle and turn off pump. Remove from deck
fitting.
If there is a fresh water hose on the dock,
rinse the tank by adding 2 minutes of water into tank. Then repump to leave the tank rinsed for the
next charter. This also eliminates head odors.
#2 The tank’s contents can be discharged with the MACERATOR only in Canadian waters.
