Marine Head With Holding Tank
Your boat comes equipped with a marine head (toi-
let) and waste holding tank system. Be sure to read
the manufacturer’s operation and maintenance
manual (included in your boat’s owner’s packet).
• The marine head installed on your boat uses sea-
water to flush waste from the toilet. The seawa-
ter intake valve (seacock) is located under the
entry steps in the cabin.
• 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 hold-
ing tank by looking at the tank located on the
starboard side of the bilge. 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 dia-
phragm. 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 (Option)
Before using the macerator
option to pump waste directly
into the water (where regula-
tions permit) you must:
• Open the underwater dis-
charge seacock located on
the starboard transom.
• Set the y-valve to direct the
waste to the macerator.
The macerator switches must
be pressed simultaneously for
pumping to occur.
