INTERIOR EQUIPMENT
1-1 HEADS
The various anti-pollution laws presently in effect have
necessitated the use and availability of a wide variety of
heads. The heads that have been factory installed
in
Carver boats have been chosen to provide reasonable
longevity, and reliable service at a realistic cost.
A.
Self-Contained Head (21' model)
This self-contained head has a holding tank built into it.
Depressing the foot pedal on the head will allow waste
to exit the bowl and enter the holding tank. When the
tank gets full, take the boat to a dockside pumping
station and have it pumped out; a deck plate fitting,
labeled WASTE,
is provided forthis purpose. See the
head manufacturer's instructions, included with this
manual, for additional information.
B.
Manually-operated Head (23' to 27' models)
The manually-operated head is equipped with a holding
tank and a WASTE deck plate fitting.
To operate this
.~.
type
of head, open the water valve on the head and then
manually operate the pump to discharge the waste into
the holding tank. When the tank gets full, take the boat
to a dockside pumping station and have it pumped out;
a deck plate fitting, labeled WASTE, is provided forthis
purpose. See the head manufacturer's instructions,
included with this manual, for additional information.
NOTE: The sea gate valve for the head must be open
whenever the head
is to be used. Also, periodically
clean the related sea water strainer.
C. Electric Head (Optional on 2767)
This head
is the same as the Manually-operated head
except that an electric motor
is provided to perform the
pumping action. A switch labeled HEAD is provided
near the head to initiate the flushing action. The head
will flush as long as the HEAD switch
is manually
depressed. Ensure that the water valve on the head is
open whenever the head is to be used.
NOTE: The sea gate valve for the head must be open
whenever the head
is to be used. Also, periodically
clean the related sea water strainer.
IMPORTANT: To operate the electric head manually,
discon nect the linkage that joins the head pump and the
motor.
D. Crown Electric Head (Optional on 27' models)
The Crown electric head is activated by depressing the
HEAD Switch. The head will continue to flush as long
as the HEAD Switch is manually depressed. If the
deodorizer container
in the Crown head is filled with
deodorant, deodorant will be dispersed with the flush
water. See the manufacturer's literature for more
information.
NOTE: The sea gate valve for the head must be open
whenever the head
is to be used. Also, periodically
clean the related sea water strainer.
F. Auxiliary Holding Tank (Optional on 27' models
with manually-operated head)
The auxiliary holding tank option combines a 20 gallon
holding tank in addition to the 9 gallon tank provided with
the self-contained head. When the holding tank
in the
base of the head becomes
fu II, transfer the waste to the
auxiliary tank using the supplied diaphragm waste
pump. This pump
is mounted on the starboard side,
under the deck, in the engine compartment on the
model 2757; on the model
27fJ7, portside, underthe v-
berth hatch.
IMPORTANT: When a boat is equipped with an
optional holding tank, waste that
is in the head holding
tank will not automatically be removed whenever waste
is taken out. The waste that is in the head holding tank
will have to be manually pumped into the optional 20
gallon tank to facilitate removal. Always replenish the
chemical
in the auxiliary holding tank and in the head
after pump-out. When using the transfer pump, move
the handle slowly and steadily. Trying to speed-up the
transfer by rapid pumping can damage the transfer
pump.
IMPORTANT: Remember to put a fresh supply of
chemical
in the head after transfering waste to the
auxiliary holding tank.
See the information provided by the manufacturer and
the instructions on the head for proper operation and
maintenance.

winterization.
