Head System
Portable Head
Your boat may feature a portable head (toilet). Read the manufacturer’s operating
instructions supplied in your owner’s packet before using your portable head.
Marine Head with Holding Tank (LX Only)
Your boat may come equipped with a marine head (toilet) and 15 gallon waste
holding tank system. Read the manufacturer’s operation and maintenance manual
(included in your boat’s owner’s packet) and refer to the Features and Systems sec-
tion of this supplement.
• The marine head installed on your boat uses seawater to flush waste from
the toilet.
• Waste is routed directly from the head to the holding tank.
• The holding tank is plumbed to a fitting on the deck for dockside pump-out.
• You can determine the content level of the holding tank by looking at the tank.
Empty the holding tank at every opportunity.
• If you are unable to pump water into the bowl, the probable cause is debris in the
pump diaphragm. To remedy this, shut off the seawater intake valve (seacock)
and dismantle the pump. The pump is generally held together with six screws
(the design is simple and the problem will be obvious when the pump body is
split open).
To winterize the head, shut off the intake seacock and pump until the bowl is dry.
Remove the drain plug in the base and pump again to remove all of the water. Do
not fill the bowl with anti-freeze. The intake seacock should be left closed while the
boat is underway or whenever the boat is left moored in the water.
Operating the manual flush marine head:
1. Open the head’s seawater intake valve (seacock).
2. Before using the head, pump enough water into the bowl to wet the sides.
After use, pump until the bowl is clean. Continue pumping a few more times to
clean the lines. If excess waste causes the water to rise in the bowl, stop pumping
until the water recedes
.
Macerator (LX Option)
Before using the optional macerator to pump waste directly into the water (where
regulations permit) you must:
• Open the underwater discharge seacock.
• Set the y-valve to direct the waste to the macerator.
• Press the switches simultaneously for pumping to occur.
NOTICE
Check with local authorities for regulations regarding the legal use of marine
head systems.
