Refer to section 7.11 for details on maintenance provided by Lewmar
10.1.11 Macerator Pump
Your 270TE comes equipped with two macerator pumps which are mounted in the forward rigging compartment. The
pumps evacuate water and residue from the in-floor fishboxes and the fishbox forward of the console (known as the
“coffin box”). The coffin box and starboard fishbox are tied together using a tee, which is located in the forward
rigging compartment and can be reached through the access hatches on either side of the console. The port fishbox is
drained using the macerator pump on its respective side.
To access the pumps, remove the access hatch using the fasteners along its perimeter. The circuit breaker and wiring
for each pump is integrated into the control unit on the console rigging wall. To operate, use the switches located at
the helm. The pump(s) will draw water from the boxes, macerate any solid waste, and evacuate the remains through
the hullside.

Foreign objects such as wood or metal should be cleared from the fishboxes prior to macerating the
waste. Failure to do so could result in damage to the plumbing or pump.
Macerator pumps are self priming, but are susceptible to damage during extended dry runs. For this reason, the
pumps are equipped with a thermal switch. The switch will cycle the pump “OFF” to prevent damage from excessive
heat caused by dry operation. If you have a pump cut “OFF” during operation, allow the unit at least 15 minutes to
cool before attempting to use it again. While you wait, verify the contents of the affected box or boxes to be certain
you have not emptied them. Pay particular attention to the starboard fish box and coffin box. If one is empty you may
be drawing air into the system which could lead to overheating at the pump. To combat this, plug the empty box and
continue pumping.
10.1.12 Portable Head Instructions
The 270TE has a portable head located in the console. Below are basic guidelines for the operation of the head, use
them in conjunction with the Thetford™ manual provided in your “Owner’s Portfolio”.
