INTERIOR EQUIPMENT
10.1 General
The head compartment is equipped with a sink and vanity. It is also equipped with an opening
port light above the sink to provide daylight and ventilation, the AC and DC electrical breaker
panels, a hanging locker, storage and access to the bilge and to the electronics in the helm . There
is also a 12-volt overhead light and a AC G.F.I. duplex outlet.
10.2 Marine Head System
Your boat is equipped with a VacuFlush marine head system as standard equipment. VacuFlush
systems use a small amount of water (one pint to one quart) and vacuum which is generated by
the 12-volt vacuum pump to flush. The toilet is connected to the pressurized fresh water system.
Using fresh water results in less odor in the head compartment.
To use the toilet, make sure the “Electric Head” breaker on the cabin DC breaker panel is on.
Then add water to wet the bowl by depressing the foot activated flush lever slightly until the
desired water level is reached. Flush the toilet by activating the flush lever all the way for
approximately three seconds or until contents clear the bowl. A sharp popping noise is normal
when the vacuum seal is broken and flushing action begins. It is also normal for a small amount
of water to remain in the bowl after flushing.
The waste is transferred into the holding tank where it remains until it is pumped out by a waste
dumping station or the overboard macerator discharge system. The waste moves through a one-
inch opening in the toilet base. Incoming air fragments the waste as it passes through the base
opening. This process eliminates the need for macerators or mechanical motors in the toilet base.
The vacuum generator contains stored vacuum. System vacuum is monitored by a vacuum
switch which is located on the vacuum generator tank. When the switch senses a drop in vacuum
in the system, it automatically signals the pump to energize and bring the vacuum back to
operating level. This process is normally completed in less than two minutes.
It is normal for the stored vacuum to leak down slightly between flushes, causing the vacuum
pump to run for a short period. The pump should not run more than once every three hours after
the last flush for recharging the system. Please refer to the toilet manufacturer owner’s manual
for more information on the operation of the marine head system.
